Tasting Notes: At 10 years of age, this single-vineyard, Chianti Classico Reserva has matured beautifully and has started to peak, delivering nicely integrated, elegant and feminine, layers of smoke-kissed, dried red fruit and delicate, crushed flowers with a susarrus of rustic pine floating in the background. The structure is smooth and supple and finishes long. Ready to go now. Drink 2020-2022.
