Italy, Chianti Classico
Sangiovese
Description
Intense ruby red color. The nose shows fruity and floral notes together with spices and incense. Soft, elegant and well structured. Freshness, complexity, graceful and silky tannins are the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes growing on Alberese and Galestro soils. This wine is vibrant and has a long and persistent aftertaste. It is an excellent expression of Mocenni’s terroir and of Chianti Classico Riserva.
