The estate’s 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva is a step up in quality. It presents lovely suggestions of tobacco, earthiness, smoke and black cherries on a medium to full-bodied frame, with excellent concentration and fine overall balance in a big, brawny expression of Chianti Classico. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
