Palladio Chianti
Wine Description
Palladio was the name of an architect from Venice who created many innovative designs. This modern, stylish wine is a blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Syrah that is vinified and matured entirely in stainless steel tanks. A prolonged, eight day maceration, with skin contact and frequent pumpovers, results in greater color extraction.
