Cavaliere Chianti skus_30190920 structured and well-balancedLight garnet color. Aromas of nutmeg, cassis, and earth with a silky, lively, medium body and a smooth, brisk underripe cherry, carob, and cinnamon finish with moderate oak flavor. An earthy Chianti to match with creamy pastas. Aromas of violet, dark berry and underbrush lead the nose on this 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Colorino blend. The juicy palate offers black cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside pliant tannins.
