chianti classico DOCG 2013
A balanced vintage year with a long, cold winter and a moderately hot summer have given us a vibrant, flavoursome Chianti Classico with a subtle array of aromas: fresh spice, elderflower and a typical hint of fresh anchovies in a joyous compendium of Chianti-ness, along with luminous ruby red colour.
