Chianti Classico Terre di Cresci 2021
Mid crimson. Subtle, subtly fragrant, ripe, energetic dark-red fruit. Pure and ever so slightly spicy, becoming sweeter on the day after opening. Medium-bodied, deliciously dry thanks to very fine tannins. A subtle and refreshing style of Chianti that highlights the purest of fruit and has immense freshness for a wine of 14.5% alcohol. Mouth-watering with succulent, well-shaped chalky tannins. Long, mouth-watering finish. Needs food.
