Greppi, Bolgheri Greppicante Size:6x750ml The 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva

essence of red currant and spice notes that are trimmed in a deft touch of wood

Vinified as whole clusters—including 5% Viognier—by Léa

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the stony and muscular large-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and robust finale that flirts with rusticity

In contrast to the phenolic noses of the prior two MâconPierreclos wines
