An authentic, characteristic expression of the character of Sangiovese. Chianti Classico is a deep ruby red in colour. Bouquet is clearly typical of Sangiovese, including hints of cherry and plum with sweet spicy notes. Full and complex in the mouth, featuring dense, mature tannins accompanying a rich, crisp finish.
