A fresh and floral Chianti Classico.

- The wine is clear and vivid ruby in colour, and it has an intense floral bouquet, with violet and iris aromas the most prevalent.

"Sangiovese makes up most of this blend. It's an authentic chianti classico, explained Andrea. He added, 'This is a very typical taste of sangiovese, with cherry, violet, and iris. We have a hint of barrel aging but we want this wine to be prominently about the fruit of sangiovese.' He then said, 'This is a lovely job, but you have to work hard'."- Jane Clare
The current vintage is fresh and vibrant boasting notes of cooked strawberry, violets and hints of sweet spices. Great acidity and balance with a lingering finish. Superb value. - Tom Whitehouse, OWC
