chianti classico DOCG Riserva 2011
The 2011 Riserva carries all the strength of the vintage year on a more sophisticated structure, a symphony of aromas from cherries to Mediterranean vegetation. Floral sensations alongside marked, seductive hints of red berry fruit. The flavour displays genuine, entirely fruity sweetness with a caressing mouthfeel that makes all the difference, developing very naturally.
