Tasting Notes

The Rodano estate has grown Cabernet since the 1970s. The stony and chalky Chianti Classico soil is perfect for cabernet-based wines these characteristics provide the wine with the elegance of Bordeaux Cabernets, but with fruit similar to some Napa Cabernets Mon Nene is stylistically in between.
