Chianti Classico Docg 2017 Fattoria di Rodano

A traditional Chianti Classico

with earthy, red cherries and hints of tobacco. Medium-bodied with ample fruit on the palate and excellent structure. One of the famous wine-producing regions of Tuscany. Chianti wines can be made from any number of clones of Sangiovese, and likewise the wines embrace a wide range of flavors and aromatic profiles. Young, fresh Chianti can offer notes of raspberry and sage on the nose and an almost ephemeral mouth, supported by a slightly astringent acidity.
