A bit too bretty to be at its fullest expression; it dries the fruit out too much and makes it seem a bit rustic. Enjoyable nonetheless, with savory flavors, a firm structure and juicy acidity. Still has a touch of that pure Sangiovese redness.

One of the ‘go to’ Chianti Classico Riserva’s. This will hold for several more years. Cherry, damp earth, nice grip.
