From Lombardy to Puglia, Torrae del Sale offers a range that honours local grape varieties. Combining noble Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to Sangiovese and Canaiolo, this red wine from the Chianti region owes its « riserva » mention to being aged in large capacity Slavonic casks and then being refined in bottles for 6 months. Nice balance between wood and fruit, an ideal pairing with ripened cheeses.
