Brancaia 2013 Riserva (Chianti Classico)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Brancaia / Chianti Classico

A blend of Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, this offers aromas of red currant, espresso, aromatic herb and French oak. The taut palate shows tart red cherry, coffee, toast, star anise and powdered sage while close-grained tannins leave an astringent, mouth-puckering finish.
