Piccini Chianti
Tasting Notes
Critic tasting note: "Tilled soil and red-berry aromas lead the nose on this bright easy-going red. On the light-bodied palate, fresh acidity and soft tannins delicately support juicy red cherry and a hint of clove. Simple but well made, it's ideal for everyday fare or to pour at large gatherings. Kerin O’Keefe" - 86/100, Wine Enthusiast
Producer tasting notes: "Ruby red in colour with an intense classic Sangiovese nose: black cherry, redcurrant and just a touch of floral notes that remind of violets. Full and beautifully etched on the palate, with excellent depth and structure. The ripe, substantial tannins are buried in fruit on the finish." - Piccini 1882
