VALVIRGINIO

Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva
LA VERITÀ

It is “La Verità/The Truth” that Sangiovese, “the prince of Chian-ti vines and of Tuscan wine history”, expresses its best character-istics with aging. Only time can release all its typical aromatic compounds from the floral scent of violet, red fruit. With aging in wood, it is enriched with balsamic notes that complement the ele-gance of the perfume and the harmony of taste, favoring evolution and complexity.

Thus our “Verità/Truth” from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes har-vested in the Classic area is a wine with a variegated bouquet with a persuasive delicate mineral taste capable of arousing emotion that only great wines can awaken. It goes well with succulent foods such as red meat and game and goes well with aged cheeses.
