Chianti DOCG
Palladio was the name of an architect from Venice who created many innovative designs during the
Renaissance. This modern twist on a classic is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 5% each of Merlot and
Syrah that is vinified in stainless steel tanks and cement vats. The wine is then aged in stainless steel
tanks and French oak barriques for 12 months. This creates a fresh, easy-to-drink wine that can easily
please friends and guests.
