Villa la Pagliaia Chianti Classico. Italian red wine
An unassuming expression of sangiovese which hits all the right notes. Lovely perfumed blueberry and cherry fruit, interwoven with rich spices and liquorice. A tightly knit palate with supple tannins and a pleasant savoury character integrated into the fruit and spice. This long established estate in the south of Chianti Classico consistently produces very classic and quietly impressive wines. The vineyards are all mature (25 years plus), relatively high altitude and very well sited. Low yields are very much the order of the day and vinification is traditional and very conducive to emphasising classic Sangiovese flavours and the terroir of the region around Berardenga.

Villa la Pagliaia, Chianti Classico Riserva Italian red wine

Archetypal Chianti with brambly, bitter cherry fruit, cedary, spicy back notes, succulent acidity and well merged tannins. The Riserva is particularly elegant and concentrated. It has a grippy, spicy character with flavours of stewed plum fruit, savoury leather and a hint of chocolate. This wine has a rich and satisfying finish.
