This Chianti Classico Riserva from Monteleponi typically showcases the elegant and age-worthy characteristics of Sangiovese. Expect a bouquet of tart red cherries, wild berries, and plums, intertwined with savory notes of dried herbs, tobacco, and earthy undertones. The palate should be vibrant and well-structured, with firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that underscore the red fruit core. Hints of spice and cedar from barrel aging will add complexity, leading to a long, persistent finish with a mineral edge.
