Santa Margherita Chianti Classico (75cl, 13.5%)

Santa Margherita Chianti Classico is a medium-bodied Tuscan red wine made predominantly from Sangiovese, with small proportions of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend undergoes a two-stage fermentation process, then spends two years maturing in French oak barrels and a further three months of bottle aging before release. The aroma shows red cherry, ripe plum, violet florals, leather and flinty, earthy minerality. The palate has dark berry fruit, red cherry, dried rosemary and refined earthiness, with oak-derived tannins and a silky mouthfeel. The finish is dry, warm and fresh, with earthy tones, gentle tannic grip, dark fruit and soft spice.
