Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Fattoria di Cinciano - 1334, 2016

Mellow oaky aromas of caramel and vanilla cream complement dark fruits. The oak is apparent but deliciously integrated, leading to a soft smooth palate. Cinciano Chianti Classico Riserva is medium bodied with black cherry and liquorice flavours which persist and are complemented by a fine powdery texture. Grapes for Riserva came from older vines on the estate with a minimum of 45 years age. These were picked in early October at optimum ripeness. The wine was matured up to 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks and will benefit from further time in bottle before reaching its peak.
