Bright ruby red in colour with purple undertones. Amazing aroma of spring flowers, violet, petal, sweet red fruits, liquorice, cedar, dry forest floor, spice. Creamy, elegant, fantastic length and balance. A total winner!

90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot. Bright young garnet; aromas of morel cherry, strawberry preserves and red poppy. Medium-full with very good concentration. Very good acidity and persistence, notable complexity and rich, well-balanced tannins. This is still quite young and is tightly wrapped; wait one or two years, with peak in 5-8 years, although it may drink well for another year or two.

The 2019 Chianti Classico is an attractive, mid-weight wine. Silky and beautifully perfumed, this mid-weight Chianti Classico is a terrific example of the lithe style that is so typical of Radda. Crushed flowers, mint, sweet red berries and tobacco linger.

Sangiovese verace nelle note radiose e pulitissime di ciliegie, fiori di limone, buccia di arancio, cedro e cannella. Corpo medio, tannini maturi , estrazione davvero soffice dei componenti polifenolici nella matrice ed un finale di incredibile bevibilità. Bevi ora.

Juicy cherry, strawberry and currant fruit abounds, along with a savory side sporting thyme, juniper and earth notes. It finishes with dusty tannins. Drink now through 2025. 14,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported. — BS
