Bright red cherry, blackberry, touch of kernel and liquorice on the palate as well. Tannins are firmer, holding an expansive sensation on the palate well. A lasting impression of beautiful savoury character. About This Wine Think of this as the slightly more distinguished, more buff, more handsome older brother of the Chianti. Two years aging before release and more weight and body make this Riserva an impressive wine, especially considering the price.
