NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Borgo Salcetino Chianti Classico offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of dried herbs and earthy undertones.The aromas are vibrant and well-integrated, creating a harmonious and inviting experience. The palate of this wine is equally impressive, with a medium-bodied structure and a balanced acidity that adds freshness and liveliness. The flavors mirror the aromas, with luscious red fruits taking center stage, complemented by notes of tobacco, leather, and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a pleasant grip and contributing to a long, satisfying finish.
