Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva

Castello di Monsanto

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 Riserva pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, old wood, dried green herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. A young, taught Monsanto CCR and I believe this will open with some more time on its side. Drink now if you must but better after 2031 and through 2046. — 22 days ago

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

Had this with pasta and a vodka sauce, and garlic bread. Delicious Wednesday night! Pillow - soft in the mouth. Cherry, tar, old mohagany. Tannins integrated enough to drink on its own, but with the food- lovely. — a month ago

Tasting great after 75 mins of aeration. Model Sangiovese flavors. Served with antipasti: pesto shrimp, grape leaves, hummus, aged 12-month manchego, and burrata. — 17 days ago

This is other stuff compared to the Istine. But also another pricetag…big and bold, more “rustic”. Good wine! — a month ago

Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

2020 vintage, standard Chianti ruby red coloring, decent floral aromas on the nose, cherry and spice on the palette, complete shift in flavor after letting it breath for 30 minutes, it leaves a lingering but pleasant hint of smoke or burnt oak on the finish. — a month ago

Had a ruby red color and the color was consistent throughout the glass. Smelled of cherry or red fruit. Tasted of red fruit and was a little bitter. Felt like it coated the mouth. — 4 months ago
