Tenuta Arceno Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG - 2020 (750ml)

VINTAGE NOTES
The 2020 vintage was ideal. A mild and dry winter was followed by an abundance of rainfall in the spring. Summer was filled with warm days and nights that cooled off dramatically, preserving acidity and aromatics. With a great fruit set and minimal extreme weather conditions, 2020 was a beautifully balanced vintage resulting in moderate alcohol, bright fruit tones and elegant tannins. The Sangiovese blocks for this Riserva were picked at optimum ripeness from October 2nd to October 12th, the Cabernet Sauvignon from October 2 to October 5.
TASTING NOTES
The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva expresses classic cypress, black cherry, vanilla with subtle spice on the nose. This was an ideal vintage with a cool growing season, developing exceedingly rare bright and focused acidity. Serene tannins complement the backbone of acidity with tart raspberries, white pepper and tabacco on the palate.The finish has fresh rose petals, orange peel and warm spice.
