Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

WINERY CERTOSA DI BELRIGUARDO
REGION Toscana

The Chainti Classico Riserva comes from a hand-made selection of only the best grapes, carefully cultivated in some of the most prized vineyards of the Chainti Classico area. Intense notes of red fruits, cherries and currants stand out in the nose, with floral scents of violet and vanilla. It enters the palate soft and sweet, but with a pleasantly crisp sensation. The Chianti Classico Riserva is perfect with important first courses, but the best pairing is the Florentine steak.
