Sangiovese with a small addition of Merlot, the 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Foho shows dark and savory aromas of cured meat and dried fruit. Earthy notes of crushed stone and granite also appear. This is a masculine and brooding expression that shows a high degree of elegance and power (especially with the 14.5% alcohol). Licorice and barbecue smoke replace the obvious fruit.
