Description
The “aMICI” CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG RISERVA has an intense ruby red colour, a complex and elegant nose, characterised by notes of red and black fruits, especially cherries, followed by hints of vanilla and chocolate, with a hint of smoke. The tannins are present but with rounded edges; the wine is structured and harmonious, with excellent persistence, the aftertaste is fruity, with hints of pepper, juniper and tobacco, confirming the olfactory perceptions.
It goes well with medium and long matured cheeses, long cooked red meats, but it is also an excellent meditation wine.
