NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Rocca di Castagnoli Poggio a'Frati Chianti Classico Riserva is a deeply complex and inviting Italian red.On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, plums, dried herbs, and subtle notes of baking spices tantalize the senses. On the palate, a velvety texture and flavors of ripe blackberry, dried figs, and licorice mingle with hints of toasty oak, tobacco, and espresso. The finish is long and persistent, with a savory blend of earthy nuances and lingering spices. Enjoy this classic Chianti with a variety of Italian dishes, from full-bodied pastas to grilled meats.
