The Classico Riserva encapsulates the essence of Tuscany in a bottling, offering a wine experience that is quintessentially Italian and a homage to the tradition of Chianti winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Rich, velvety, full-flavoured and warming, with hints of vanilla and raspberry, this is a fine Chianti Classico with silky tannins and a generous finish.
