The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It's a magical wine in every way. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

This 2018 vintage has all the elements in place - classic Chianti sangiovese showing cherry, currants, roasted tomatoes and leather, with great acid and tannins. Despite the 5 years of bottle age, I probably opened this Riserva a little early - thankfully I have another to stash away for a few more years, when I think this wine will be at full deliciousness.
