For a riserva, it really lacks in substance. Light in body, high in acidity, tannins are unbalanced, seriously underwhelming.

Medium body, strong tannins, a bit dry, not fruity at all, with a hint of dark cocoa and tobacco. A traditional Chianti to pair with pizza or chocolate.

Average wine. Nothing special, nothing too disturbing.

Beautiful example of Chianti Classico. Garnet in color, savory on the nose, develops from red fruit to black pepper on the palate

Underwhelming on its own. Light. Better paired with a light dinner.
