Note di degustazione
A certified organic wine, the 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva shows the richness of the vintage with cherry confit and raspberry tart. The wine is almost all Sangiovese with complementary varieties Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. The time-honored formula for making this wine has a history that dates back almost as long as this landmark estate in Gaiole in Chianti. There is a pretty mineral signature that adds clarity and focus. 35,000 bottles were released.

The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with cinnamon, blood orange, wild cherry, tobacco and incense, all of which give it a decidedly exotic flair. The 2017 is a rich, dense Riserva, but I would prefer to drink it on the airy side, before it starts to lose its freshness and vibrancy.
Gaiole in Chianti. 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino. Certified organic. Cask sample. Lustrous mid ruby. Great depth of cherry fruit with a hint of gingerbread spices on the nose. Supple and fresh and multilayered, with bags of chewy tannins supporting the fruit. From a torrid vintage but totally convincing. (WS)
