Fattoria Montecchio 2021 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers tension and a precise, yet delicate spiciness in the opening. It expresses notes of nutmeg, liquorice, white pepper and cardamom, combined with a touch of wild mint, fresh flowers (wild rose, lily), a fresh and tangy fruity substance (red cherry, morello cherry, crunchy strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cranberries), as well as a hint of roasting (fresh and toasted wood, a touch of toasted almond). The palate offers accuracy, a juicy and tangy fruitiness (red cherry, cranberries, raspberry, crunchy strawberry, blueberry), as well as envelopped spicy and toasted notes (vanilla, licorice, grated nutmeg, a hint of pepper, toasted wood and toasted hazelnut). The finish is gourmand, tangy and sapid, with notes of red cherry, raspberry, fresh mint and wild rose. The tannins are well-constructed, finely tightened, and enveloped in a salivating acidity. Good persistence on the fruity flavors.
