Bonacchi Chianti Classico DOCG 2016
The Chianti Classico from Bonacchi is a warm, balanced and inviting red wine with intense aromas of cherry and hints of violet and coffee. The oak ageing for 12 months softens the tannins and adds a delightful structure to this Chianti. We recommend serving this decanted with grilled meats, roast meats and game.
