Castello di Radda 2012 – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The nose is aromatic, elegant, relatively gourmand and offers a small freshness. It reveals notes of cocoa and slight notes of blueberry, wild berries combined with discreet notes of strawberry, slight touches of toasted oak as well as a hint of coconut and vanilla. The palate is fruity, fine, fluid, mineral, racy, sleek and offers fat as well as a fine acid frame. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and slight notes of raspberry associated with a hint of plum, redcurrant, slight notes of toasted wood as well as a very discreet grilled hint and cocoa. Tannins are fine and well built. Good length and good persistence.
