2016 TENUTA SANTEDAME CHIANTI CLASSICO Winery Notes: "The wine opens with intense, complex aromas featuring the violet notes typical of Sangiovese, followed by refined flavors of ripe plums, black pepper, and tobacco. On the palate, this wine shows good structure, an elegant texture, and a beautiful balance of velvety tannins and acidity. Flavors of plum, blackberry, and currant are supported by intriguing balsamic notes. The wine ends as it began, with a pretty, persistent finish of violet notes complemented by red berry fruit."
