Niccoló da Uzzano Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG - Castello di Uzzano

The barrel-aged Niccoló da Uzzano Chianti Classico Riserva from the wine-growing region of Tuscany presents itself in the glass in dense ruby red.

If you give it some air in the glass by swirling, this red wine reveals high viscosity, visible in pronounced church windows on the glass wall. With a little time in the glass, this red wine from Italy shows wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, rounded off by black cherry and red currant contributed by the barrel aging.
