chianti classico DOCG Riserva 2015
Once again, in a hot dry year, the Val delle Corti / Radda Sangiovese succeeds in fully expressing all its potential. The nose displays all the classic floral notes, with hints of violets and cherries, outstanding depth and strikingly impetuous mineral sensations. The palate is soft, deep, warm, juicy and very lingering. This still-youthful wine has a long, reliable future ahead.
"Chianti Classico passes the "finesse and detailing" exam with flying colours: a truly magnificent wine." Armando Casatagno
