Ormanni's Chianti is presented in the glass bright and crystalline ruby. The nose smells of Tuscany in summer: strawberries, rosemary, burnt earth, strawberry tree, mint. On the palate it relaxes with lots of tasty freshness, integrated tannin and a slightly bitter herbal finish. Very good with Tuscan bread and raw sausage.
