Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti DOCG

Chianti Castiglioni is a vibrant ruby red colour. It is a pleasantly fruity wine on the nose, with notes reminiscent of redcurrant, raspberry, morello cherry and wild strawberry. A beautiful floral sensation on the finish is accompanied by spicy hints of clove. Lively and fresh on the palate with pleasant but never overwhelming tannins . The lovely finish is long, crisp and delicate.
