About This Wine
Out of Tuscany, this is the bigger more mature release from De Vasari, part of a quality co-operative working mainly in Chianti.
With extended ageing in bottle before release, this is quite an evolved wine, which tastes as you’d expect from a Riserva.
Oak influence plays a minor role in this fruit driven, spicy offering that is mainly Sangiovese with a small portion of alternate varieties allowed under this DOCG.
