Chianti Morzano Riserva DOCG
The grapes and the Vineyard
Sangiovese, the absolute dominant of the vine, is the most representative vineyard of the link with the territory, an ideal point of connection between rural tradition and innovation: the passage in the classic oak barriques to soften the vehemence and to amplify its gustatory and aromatic depth.
The wine
Elegant and cerebral Sangiovese with an intense ruby red color. Wide and enveloping nose with notes of red fruits, vanilla and black pepper. On the palate it expresses harmony and balance. Perfectly balanced, of remarkable pleasantness and gustatory persistence. Accompany the traditional Tuscan dishes, red meats and important roasts.
