Chianti Classico

€295.00

750ml Bottle

Extremely grapey, with highlights of raspberries and mint. Medium-bodied, with silky, polished tannins from clever small-barrel maturation. Long, caressing finish. A gorgeous wine now but be patient, you will be rewarded. This super Tuscan is always a beauty. 2,100 cases made. 90 points Wine Spectator
