Italy, Chianti Classico
Malvasía
Description
The colour is an intense ruby red with purple hints. At the nose, aromas are the typical of the varietal, small red fruits and floral notes. In the mouth, a good alcoholic content and the consistency go with a perfect structure balanced between acidity and softness; the tannins are mature and velvety.
