A pure expression that has benefitted from a cool growing season and some extended bottle age, the Castello della Paneretta 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Torre a Destra opens to a medium dark color and concentration. It shows immediate aromas of dried fruit, black licorice and campfire ash with a smooth and silky overall presentation. This wine is ready to drink now and would make a fitting companion to a meat dish with delicate flavors such as breaded veal chops.

Sweet cherry, raspberry and spice flavors anchor this evolving red, whose leather and woodsy elements are ascending. Complex and tense, with tobacco and mineral notes lining the firm aftertaste. Drink now through 2024. 2,500 cases made, 525 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
