2015 Chianti Classico Riserva

A nice excuse to rustle up some fresh ingredients like white beans and Tuscan kale for a classic ribollita, the Il Cellese 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva offers some softness and ripeness that speaks to the sunny and warm vintage. It also speaks to this open and sun-drenched part of the appellation that is awash in sunlight and light breezes. The wine is tapered and tight in terms of mouthfeel, with integrated tannins and a svelte mid-weight palate.
