Chianti Classico Riserva 2018
The Riserva is only made in the best vintages and is comprised 95% of Sangiovese, with a splash of Canaiolo and Colorino. It comes from the same high-elevation clay and limestone vineyard as the Chianti Classico, located at 1,500 feet above sea level, but is aged an additional six months in oak. It’s ruby red in color with notes of ripe red fruits, vanilla, and spices. This is a balanced and pleasant wine with a well-rounded but intense finish.
