Medium ruby , slightly brighter ruby garnet rim . Quite refined on the nose , floral hints , some earthy sage , bright cherry and cedar also . On the palate this has more polish and elegance than the CC, with bright red fruits , touch of fresh herbs and a saline finish with good length . Fresh acidity and polished but present tannins . Balanced alcohol . Young but very balanced , needs a little time , 3 -5 years and will last well a further 10 or so . A really excellent example of classic Chianti Classico Riserva.

Nice radda Chianti riserva but at this point at least not worth the $45+ price point over things like Istine or Tenuta Carleone at ~half the price or Boncie il Cinque at about the same price. Maybe in several years if it evens out? Gave it 3+ hours of air. Really a wonderful nose but the fruit doesn’t express that well and the tannins are a bit muddled. Nice refreshing acid on the finish though.
