Paladin Madonnino Della Pieve Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018

A classic and forthright wine with aromas of black cherries that are well defined and intense, enhanced by violets, licorice and leather. Medium-bodied with refined tannins, a velvety texture, lush density and refreshing integrated acidity. Tense in the long finish despite the generous fruit. Drink or hold.
