Garnering 95 points from James Suckling and Raffaele Vecchione, this Chianti Classico Riserva is celebrated for its sophisticated structure, rich flavor profile, and impressive aging potential.
This wine showcases an intriguing nose with notes of anise, red and black plums, cured meat, and sage. On the palate, it reveals incredible depth with dark plummy fruits, leather, and spice, balanced by salivating tannins and a long, refined finish.
Crafted from grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Gaiole in Chianti, this Riserva benefits from lower crop levels and extended oak aging. With its robust tannin structure and full-bodied character, it is perfect for cellaring and will evolve beautifully over the next 8-10 years.
