Introducing a captivating trio of Chianti wines, each a great example of the wines character and allure:
Badiolo Chianti DOCG 2020 Matured for over a year in oak barrels and then refined in bottles for about four months. This wine has a dry yet rounded flavour, fresh and cheeky. It has a intense fragrance and a persistent nose with a ruby-red colour.
Confini Chianti DOCG 2021 is a perfect mix of fruity and a bit of spiciness. Every sip brings you the delicious flavours of red cherries and blackberries, with a hint of cloves and black pepper in the background. It’s not too heavy, and the tannins are smooth, so you can enjoy it all on its own or with your favourite meals.
Leonardo Chianti 2019 Clear, ruby-red in colour, with reasonable depth and ‘legs’ indicating good structure. Perfumes of cherries and fresh red fruit mingle with spicy, peppery notes. The wine is lively and fresh in the mouth, with soft, rounded tannins. Good intensity, attractive structure and fine, long length.
