NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, the Casanova Chianti Riserva displays a deep ruby red color, indicating its youth and vibrancy.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. These aromas are further enhanced by delicate floral notes, adding a touch of elegance to the overall profile.
On the palate, this wine exhibits a rather full body, with well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth and velvety texture. The flavors mirror the aromas, with an abundance of juicy red fruits taking center stage. There is a pleasant acidity that adds freshness and balance, while the oak aging contributes to a subtle complexity and a lingering finish.
