The 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva Torre a Destra, richly fruity, continuous, and balanced, combines length and finesse in a satiny, medium-bodied style. After a generally strong series of wines in the 1990s, Castello della Paneretta hit a rough patch in 1999 and 2000 with wines which were excessively rustic and funky. Happily, things seem back on track with the 2001 wines, a welcome notice, as the vineyards, located between Isole e Olena and Monsanto, are some of the finest in the entire appellation.
