Chianti Classico Riserva “Poggio Croce” DOCG
Notes of violet, red berries, cherries and currants as well as black tea, vanilla and white pepper. The palate shows smooth tannins and a strong acid backbone, which guarantees freshness and longevity in the wine.
“From carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, produced as a tribute to Terrabianca’s original historic label “Croce.” The Burkards were inspired to reinterpret this Tuscan classic, turning it into a premium wine with unmistakable style. It is a delicate, decisive and elegant wine.”
