Rocca di Castagnoli – Poggio a’Frati 2012 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The nose is fruity, aromatic, relatively elegant and offers a fine elegance. It reveals notes of blackberry, plum, blueberry and a discreet hint of red fruits, flowers associated with hints of thyme, a discreet hint of clove, wood as well as an imperceptible hint of sweet spices and cinnamon. The mouth is fruity, mineral, suave, well-balanced, relatively gourmande, a bit fleshy and offers a fine fresh frame, roundness and fat. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, black cherry and slight notes of plum associated with hints of raspberry, small red berries as well as discreet touches of toasted wood, clove and a discreet hint of mushroom. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length.
