The nose is layered and expressive, offering ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and notes of tobacco and oak-derived complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet graceful, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, polished finish that still carries freshness.\n\nAfter 24 months in French oak, the wine has developed a seamless texture and savory complexity. It is drinking beautifully now, though its structure and balance suggest it has held up well over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from hillside vineyards in Radda in Chianti, where altitude and a cooler Tuscan climate help preserve freshness and aromatic detail.
