A Chianti Classico Riserva named in homage to the Petri family, who owned the Vicchiomaggio estate in the second half of the 19th century. Predominantly Sangiovese with a portion of Cabernet Sauvignon, matured in second-passage barriques and large oak casks for around 18 months, then further refined in bottle.
A Riserva that punches above its price point — ripe fruit and sweet spice with real ageing potential.
