Characterised by an intense ruby red, "Lucretia" opens with mild but complex fruit and flower scents with spicy notes of tabacco and cloves. In the mouth it is soft with its smooth texture of plums, blackberry and blueberry flavors.
To complete its harmonious essence there are hints of dried flowers and spicy notes with balsamic aromas. On the long finish it emits notes of roasted coffee, thus making this wine complex and elegant. W ell balanced, characterised by a good persistency, this wine boasts mild tannins to the palate, thanks to an ageing period in small oak barrels. Perfect when paired with game, wildfowl or ripened cheese.
It is right in the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the pleasant green of its gentle hills, where Casagrande della Quercia winery is based.
The winery and all its vineyards are located within the Chianti Classico area, the well-renowned territory between Siena and Florence.
