Release Notes:
Selva del Moro Chianti Classico is made from 100% Sangiovese that is vinified and aged in oak casks for 18 months. A fantastic value from Chianti the Selva del moro is round and easy-drinking with succulent red-berry fruit, earthiness and moderate complexity. Fewer than 700 cases are produced a year, so quantities are limited.
Tasting Notes:
Very pleasant aromas of red fruit, berries and licorice. A full-bodied and round wine on the palate with cherry fruit, spice, and some wood flavors. A nice dry finish with earthy complexity. The perfect wine for simple Italian fare (pizza, pasta, etc), summer barbecues, sandwiches and picnics. Drink now to 2011.
The natural beauty of central Tuscany.
