chianti classico DOCG 2016
A swinging year from the climatic point of view - from the winter drought we went to late frosts in April and to the big rains in June. 2016 resulted in a very 'raddese' wine. Intense and vibrant, almost wild, this is a wine that best expresses kindness and depth, frankness and freshness, typical of our Sangiovese. It will age very well.
