Casa Emma Chianti Classico? DOCG? 2005 (R162)
Stefano and Lorenzo Gabba of Melgab International have been importing fine Italian wines into South Africa for many years. I recently had the privilege of tasting their latest selection which included this delicious Chianti. Casa Emma can be found in San Donato, Poggio which is surrounded by beautiful hills and is in the heart of the Classic Chiantishire.
This Chianti Classico made largely from Sangiovese with a small percentage of Malvasia and Canaiolo has fragrant aromas of cherries, liquorice and subtle woodsmoke. The palate? follows, offering rich complex? flavours? of red and black cherries with fresh acidity? and firm?, yet structured tannins.
