The wine has a beautiful ruby red color with garnet hues. The intense and complex bouquet of black cherry and spice creates an immediate sense of intrigue.
On the palate, the full-bodied richness of the red berry fruit flavors are perfectly balanced with the backbone of tannin. The result is a smooth and harmonious finish that leaves a lasting impression.
To fully appreciate the depth and complexity of this Chianti Classico Riserva, it is recommended to open the bottle in advance and allow it to breathe. Decanting is also preferable to fully unlock the wine's aromas and flavors.
Critic Ratings
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 91:
A sleek, tightly wound red, with black cherry and blackberry fruit shaded by iron, herbs and tobacco. Linear in profile and vibrant, with a long, slightly chewy finish. Needs a year or two. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Best from 2024 through 2037. 26,000 cases made, 17,000 cases imported.
James Suckling Review - Rated 94:
Crushed stones with black cherries and fresh flowers. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Still so young and fruity with wonderful energy. Give it another two or three years, if you can bear to wait.
