A purple red coloured wine with violet hues and a nose of pleasant intensity, with floral notes and vegetal hints like tobacco and grass cut green. The palate is dry, with medium body and extract, slightly tannic and a bit aggressive. Originating in 1926, when Piero and Gino Coli began their adventure at the gates of Florence. The Coli Brothers decided to seek out and sell the most traditional of wines produced in the Chianti hills, which were then and continue to be the Chianti and Chianti Classico Wines. As years passed, the Coli Wine Cellar expanded, and is now one of the most modern in all of Tuscany, thanks to the vision of the Coli family, who have succeeded in adapting their production methods to the changing developments in the wine market.
