Chianti Classico Vallepicciola 2020
Chianti Classico by Vallepicciola is a Tuscan red that embodies the characteristic features of the typology in an incomparable manner. After an aging of 12 month in old casks, it presents on the nose aromas of dried violet and cherry, surrounded by more spicy and evolved hues that lead to a sip from the thick tannic texture, of beautiful freshness and persistence
