Castello Monterinaldi 2016 – Chianto Classico Riserva

The nose is aromatic, racy and offers a fine complexity, a fine power and a fine grain. It reveals there notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of violet associated with touches of sense of place, olive tree as well as fine hints of small blue berries and a subtle hint of nutmeg. The mouth is fruity and offers juiciness, gourmandize, a fine juicy / acidulous frame as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy blackberry, juicy / fleshy cassis and small notes of juicy / fleshy wild strawberry associated with fine touches of violet, juicy blueberry, a subtle hint of liquorice as well as discreet hints of vanilla, toasted and a very discreet hint of toasted almond. Good length. Presence of an imperceptible hint of tonka bean on the persistence.
