Crono Chianti Riserva DOCG 2016
The 2016 Crono Chianti Riserva DOCG has a ruby colour and a nose of red fruit and blackberries, with spicy, savoury tobacco characteristics. The textured palate opens up to show dense rich fruit, with layers of black cherry and spice followed by juicy acidity. Dry red that is balanced.
