Il Quarto - Chianti Riserva DOCG
The grapes and the Vineyard
Harmonic blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah. Their different origins (Tuscany, Bordeaux and Middle East) combined together give the wine character and elegance.
The wine
This wine with an intense ruby red color to the nose is characterized by a persistent scent of flowers, spices and fruit. With an important, elegant and velvety structure, it is soft and round in the mouth. The best grapes are destined for the Reserve since the harvest and their properties are enriched when they know the woods.
