Description
"This is rich and engaging on the nose showing dried cherry, roast beef, thyme and toasted hazelnut aromas, followed by concentrated palate that is sweetlyfruited and generously textured. A classic expression of Chianti offering lovely depth and complexity with rich savoury notes. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018.
Purple-red in colour, and clear. On the nose, ripe fruit hints are ennobled by gentle spices. On the palate, it is full-structured. Agreeable finish, with a long lasting aftertaste.
This wine is a blend of Sangiovese 85%, Merlot 10% and other red grapes 5%.
Produced in the hilly zones in Vinci and some surrounding areas, Fermentation occurs in steel tanks for 12-14 days, at a controlled temperature of 28/29°C. Frequent pumping over encourage the release of the colouring substances and the polyphenolic components. Ageing takes place in French oak casks for 10 months.
Food Pairing: The Leonardo will go down a treat with a Sunday lamb roast.
