Chianti Classico riserva 2020 Brancaia

This great Riserva is made from the finest Sangiovese grapes from Brancaia. This medium to full-bodied wine showcases the elegance and charm of this classic Tuscan grape and reveals a finesse that certainly does justice to this historic denomination. Aromas such as cherry, spice, leather and chocolate blend perfectly together. The Sangiovese matures in tonneaux for 16 months, while the Merlot matures in barriques. The cuvée matures in the bottle for at least another year after bottling.
