“A Chianti Superiore with a smooth texture and incredible richness—a delightful new addition to enjoy now or save for later!”

“A lot of richness for a Chianti Superiore, highlighting the warmth of the growing season and the vintage’s character. A medium- to full-bodied wine with moderately chewy tannins and a lively finish. Hints of new oak on the finish. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling)
