Tenuta San Vito 'Madiere' Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva 2020 Review
Coming from outside the Classico zone this wine hails from the hills closer to the metropolitan area of Florence. But just because it’s not a Chianti Classico doesn’t mean it can’t stand up to the best of the region. It’s wonderfully savory with aromas of herbs, white pepper, and rhubarb on the nose. The palate brings slight woody notes along with a delicious fleshy mouthfeel.
