Visibly thinner and less concentrated compared to past editions, the 2014 Chianti Classico Riserva reflects the more subdued personality of this difficult vintage. This wine presents a lighter and more luminous appearance with bright cherry and wild berry aromas. This is a mid-weight Sangiovese with a pretty blast of cool freshness and menthol-like intensity on the finish. The grapes used are Sangiovese (95%) and Canaiolo, and the wine ages in barrique for 12 months.

Graphite, floral and tobacco aromas introduce this firm red, whose cherry, earth and leafy tobacco flavors dissolve into dusty tannins on the finish. Best from 2018 through 2024. 2,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
