Chianti classico riserva docg

The Chianti Classico Riserva is the best selection of the estate grown Sangiovese, especially selected bunch per bunch from the best zones of the vineyards which have a low yield of 1,5kg grapes per vine. It is a pure Sangiovese wine, which expresses tradition and elegance of our territory. It’s a wine with a long ageing potential, a robust expression of the Nardi Viticoltori terroir.
