Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
A structured, food-friendly Chianti Classico Riserva built around Sangiovese's signature sour cherry and dried floral character, backed by firm but refined tannins and bright acidity. Earthy, leathery notes and a hint of tobacco add complexity, reflecting the extended aging required of the Riserva designation. The finish is long and savory — a reliable, classically styled Tuscan red that rewards the table.
