A modern-style Chianti Classico, made with 90% Sangiovese, plus 10% Merlot and Syrah. Violets, redcurrants, cherries, chocolate and a touch of pepper on the nose. Following the steel-tank fermentation and blending, it was aged for 9 months in Slavonian barrels. The palate is juicy with nicely-integrated oak and silky tannins.
