Details
Leonardo Chianti Riserva is a wine that embodies the rich heritage and traditional winemaking process of a family-owned winery. This wine is made with Sangiovese 85%, Merlot 10%, and other red grapes 5%, resulting in a deep red colour with rich chromatic nuances. The fruity bouquet of this wine is distinctly cherry, with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon that adds a unique twist to the aroma.
The winemakers at Leonardo Chianti Riserva have perfected the art of winemaking by placing the wine in French oak casks for 10 months. This process refines the wine, giving it a fine tannic note that balances the spicy undertones of the aroma. The result is a wine that is both complex and balanced, with a flavour that is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
The family-owned winery behind Leonardo Chianti Riserva has a rich history that dates back generations. Their commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every bottle of wine they produce. By supporting this winery, you are not only enjoying a delicious wine but also contributing to the preservation of a craft that has been passed down through generations.
