Sensory Description
The wine presents a dark and rich red hue, with a powerful bouquet of dark cherries intertwined with floral notes. On the palate, it offers marked acidity, balanced tannins, and a pleasant softness, showcasing traditional Chianti Classico character. Aromas evolve into nuanced layers of red mulberry, cinnamon, and pepper leaf, accented by hints of clementine zest. The finish reveals brackish minerality, a return of small red fruits, and subtle spicy sensations.
