The Arceno Chianti Classico Riserva comes from some of the warmer, south-facing blocks at our estate. It is composed almost entirely of Sangiovese and spends one year in small French oak barrels. This is the epitome of modern Chianti with its dark colour, pure fruit, balance, power and velvety tannins. The dominant flavours include violets, plums, cherries, orange peel, earth, licorice, cedar and smoke.

Notes of brambleberries, sage, tomato leaves, olive stones and iodine lead to a firm and savory palate. Medium body and firm, tight tannins. I like the salty undertones. Drink or hold.
