This Chianti Riserva is excellent. The first impression is a combination of licorice and blackberry. Then it finishes with the typical Chianti astringent bite and tannins. This Chianti is 100% Sangiovese. It is quite expensive, but it is a first-class wine. And very different from this producer’s Chianti Classico. Also, it is ready to drink now and its tannins were not harsh.

One of the preservers of Chianti traditions. For me, first rated. I had the 2013 in 2020. The winemaker is a 80 plus years princess, an autodidact. Fantastic
