The Castello della Paneretta 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva sees Sangiovese blended with a tiny part Canaiolo. This expression is a little flat with air dried aromas of wild fruit, plum, green olive, earth and a touch of cypress tree or rosemary essence. The wine retreats to a formal, classic personality that reminds of some of the Chianti Classicos made 10 or 20 years ago. It also feels a bit more aged than expected. Pair it with a beef bourguignon.
