Product Description
Chianti Classico Riserva
Only native vines, without Cabernet or Merlot, to maintain the most typical formula of the most famous Italian wine, without following the trend that see the use of wines from the South to modify the beautiful ruby red typical of the Sangioveto with red-black hues. A wine which with its typical characteristics strives to achieve maximum elegance.
wine score
90 points Wine Spectator
"Bright and fruity, this red boasts strawberry, cherry, floral and smoke flavors. Supple and open, this shows fine balance and a lingering aftertaste of fresh fruit, earth and tobacco."
91 points James Suckling
"Sweet-cherry and vanilla aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with round tannins and a fruity finish. Nicely done. Delicious now."
