Torre a Cona Chianti Colli Fiorentini Badia a Corte Riserva (75cl, 14%)

Torre a Cona Chianti Colli Fiorentini Badia a Corte Riserva is a 100% Sangiovese Riserva from Tuscany's Colli Fiorentini hills, bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It comes from the estate's oldest single hectare vineyard, planted at 360 to 370 metres elevation with vines 25 to 40 years old, and is fermented with native yeasts. The wine ages for two years in large 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks. The nose shows damp soil, mushroom, flinty mineral, wild berries, sour cherry, rosehip, wild fennel and blueberry-menthol. The palate is juicy with dried and fresh cherry, orange jam, salty-savoury notes, truffle-like umami, leafy herbs, fine tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long with cedary, mentholated notes, small berry fruit and a saline thread.
