Ripe cooked red fruits, pâtisserie, vanilla and floral notes create an ensemble that is interesting and fresh. Fossivénto is a blend of 85% Sangiovese with 5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah – the Chianti Classico DOCG stipulates a minimum of 80% of Sangiovese. The 2017 is medium-bodied, smooth with a grippy finish. It has good depth and length with persistent bitter cherry flavour. Matured in small French oak barrels for 14 months.
