A well-rounded, balanced, and seductive riserva with notes of red berries, cherries, Mediterranean herbs, and mild spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Focused and textured with a succulent finish. Drink or hold.
Black cherry and blackberry fruit are shaded by notes of iron and earth, plus a hint of orange peel. This ripe and lively red is balanced, ending with a light dusting of tannins. Drink now through 2030. —B.S.
What We Thought: This wine has big aromas of black cherry and a smooth, medium-bodied palate of more black cherry with classic Chianti nuances of tobacco, black pepper, and licorice, finishing with lightly dusty tannins.
