A succulent version, this red reveals cherry, strawberry, plum, floral, eucalyptus and tobacco aromas and flavors. Harmonious and enjoyable now, but there are still tannins to shed. Complex and long.

A pretty nose of cherries and red plums with oregano and earth undertones. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy, bright core of fruit on the mid-palate and a supple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva needs a few years to be at its best, but it has plenty to offer. In 2018 the Riserva is on the lighter side, but that's not a bad thing at all. Crushed leaves, tobacco, incense, mint, licorice and coffee add complexity to a core of dark Sangiovese fruit. Wild and exotic, the Riserva is certainly compelling.
