"A new vintage of this Chianti Superiore, with rich flavors of black cherries, violets, and chocolate!"
“An excellent example of Chianti Superiore, this wine can be enjoyed now but will benefit from aging. Ruby in color with a distinct garnet rim, it features notes of wood smoke and porcini mushrooms intertwined with aromas of red plum. It offers good fruit concentration and lively acidity, with firm tannins and a lingering finish. 2025–2029. ” (Decanter 2025)
