Grape Variety

Sangiovese

Producer

Avenue Srl

A youthful wine with spicy oak, fresh plums and strawberry aromas, this Chianti Classico Riserva is the lighter side of medium bodied with a fine texture and a firm acidity. It is well balanced and builds in the mouth with sour and bitter cherry flavours emerging. Grapes grown at 400 metres at the Casi Vineyard were harvested by hand and fermented in oak vats. Half the wine was matured in large Slavonian oak casks, the other half in small second-and third fill oak barrels for 18 months.
