The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole shows the detailed precision and sharpness that identifies the gorgeous wines from San Giusto a Rentennano in high altitude Gaiole in Chianti. The wine presents authentic Sangiovese (the blend is 97% Sangiovese with 3% Canaiolo) tones of forest berry, blue violets, white truffle and grilled herb. These aromas are delicate and neatly folded into one another with seamless transitions. The finish is dry and finely textured with the tannic tightness that needs another few years to relax. That said, I wouldn't expect this warmer vintage to have the lengthy staying power of the cooler 2013 vintage. The alcohol measures 15%. Some 14,397 bottles were made.
