Our new organic Chianti producer, making fresh and elegant styles of Chianti with the emphasis on fresh red fruit and dried Tuscan herbs
What They Say
Deep garnet red. On the nose, dried oregano aromas are entwined with dark and red cherries. Ripe cherries on the palate are balanced with grainy tannins so typical of traditional Chianti, with a vibrant, fresh acidity on the finish.
