The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is incredibly polished and sophisticated. Silky tannins give the 2017 its racy, sleek personality. Over the last year, the 2017 Riserva has really settled into a gorgeous place. There is plenty of vintage 2017 intensity, but Rancia is distinctly medium in body and restrained. The wilder side of Sangiovese, one of the signatures of Rancia and Fèlsina. — 10 months ago
Brunello but too high in elevation . Great value — a year ago
Really nice wine to enjoy with friends on a birthday. Went well with the homemade chocolate Grenache cake which was fantastic. Plenty of tannins which Improve with aeration. — 2 years ago

Fantastic Brunello di Montalcino. Not my first rodeo with Frescobaldi, but this one was exceptional. — 7 months ago
This is great quaffable italian red. Perfect pizza wine. Nice round opulent fruit without being overblown. Enough tannin and acid to hold the package together. Buy again! — a year ago
Fairly well balanced, light for a Tuscan but sufficiently flavorful. Better on the 2nd and 3rd nights if well capped. Simple evening dinner-wine with a comfortable 13% alc. Definitely a good value from TJ. — a year ago
Outstanding QPR for this #traderjoes #brunellodimontalcino. Earthy cherry, leather and forest floor nose; palate - nice balance and fine tannins. No need to be profound on this price point and the perfect bottle for a casual Hoboken BYOB pizzeria. 🍕 — 2 years ago
Dom’s favourite red wine — 4 years ago
So dark & brooding, savoury, earthy. Going through a less fruity phase right now. Dark earth, bit of roast, rosemary, sage, a faint whiff of black fruit. Yet there’s purity here. And incredible energy.
On the palate this is youthfully burly, with a powerful tannin frame. Yet the tannins are juicy, fine, polished. And the acidity within - zingy & fresh. There’s character & depth here. And tension. Great balance & length.
This is way too young but will evolve beautifully - I’m sure of that.
An incredible savoury Sangiovese that just begs a solid piece of meat!
I so much prefer this style to the plush, shiny modern Brunellos. — 4 years ago
