Borgo Salcetino 2011 Chianti Classico "Lucarello" Riserva 750ml

The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Lucarello is a very streamlined and focused interpretation with a great sense of inner brightness. There’s no disputing the simple appeal of the wine and Riserva Lucarelllo shows a less opulent interpretation of the vintage that should stand the test of time. Dark cherry fruit is folded within layers of spice and fine tobacco.
