Villa Mangiacane is a spectacular estate with architectural elements designed by Michelangelo and a kilometer-long garden of cypress trees that perfectly frames the red tiled roof of the Duomo di Firenze when viewed from the Villa's main loggia. The effect is unforgettable. The estate's 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva opens to rich dark fruit with ripe cherry, blackberry and dried plum. This sunny vintage also delivers soft tannins and a soft finish accented by spice, tar and smoke.

The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva (95% Sangiovese with 5% Merlot) is a direct and sharp red wine with immediate aromas of red fruit, spice, tobacco and rose petal. With the 2009 vintage, that small blending element was Colorino, but that grape was switched to Merlot with this vintage. Fruit for this wine comes from a 15-hectare single vineyard with old vines. The finish comes with a dry, herbal note.

The 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva shows evolved aromas of tar, licorice and smoke on top of black fruit and dried plum. This wine is mostly Sangiovese with a small part Colorino. The 2009 vintage was very warm, and some of those ripe blackberry flavors pop out, especially on the soft and succulent close.
