Campriano Chianti Classico 2013

Chianti Classico is made of Sangiovese grapes which are carefully selected into the vineyard and harvested separately to full maturity. Many Classicos are today made of 100% Sangiovese but can include up to 20% of other approved varieties grown within the Classico borders. The best Classicos will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and be full-bodied with plenty of ripe fruit (plums, black cherry, blackberry). Also common among the best Classicos are expressive notes of cedar, dried herbs, fennel, balsamic or tobacco. -Winemaker's Notes
