The three new releases from Fontodi, one of the stars of Tuscany, all possess distinctive personalities. The more obvious and open-knit 1988 Chianti Classico Riserva offers attractive, ripe, earthy fruit, medium body, fine intensity and depth, and a good finish. It is an appealing, medium-weight Chianti with excellent ripeness and richness. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
