"A Chianti Superiore with incredible smoothness and richness, a delicious new addition to enjoy now or keep for later!"
"A beautiful expression of the bouquet, where intensity and subtlety go hand in hand. On the palate, the wine stands out noticeably from the 2015 and 2016 vintages with a beautiful evolution in the integration of the tannins. The tannins are fine and give the wine a perfect structure. The finish is quite long and retains the fruity expression. 2023-2030" (Yves Beck 2021)

About wine:
A lot of richness for a Chianti Superiore, highlighting the warmth of the season and the growth of the vintage. A medium-bodied to full-bodied wine with moderately chewy tannins and a tangy finish. Notes of new wood on the finish. Drink now or hold.
