The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva exudes aromas of cedar, cypress, and rose, accompanied by raspberry and vanilla bean. On the palate, flavors of bright strawberries and cherry liquor dominate followed by secondary flavors of cacao and coconut. This cooler 2019 vintage produced Sangiovese with soft, round edges and vibrant acidity, ultimately creating a savory wine with pleasant minerality and elegance. The long finish lingers with notes of fine black tea and citrus tones of ripe oranges.
Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva shows velvety richness and good textural support. This comes thanks to the warmer microclimate and thicker soils, sometimes with a lot of clay, that distinguish the Castelnuovo Berardenga region of Chianti Classico. The finish is dry and long, but there is plenty of sweet earth, dark fruit, plum and balanced cherry in the mix.

Notes of brambleberries, sage, tomato leaves, olive stones and iodine lead to a firm and savory palate. Medium body and firm, tight tannins. I like the salty undertones. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva (90% Sangiovese and the rest Merlot) takes on more spiced layers of smoke, cedar, menthol, and blackberry. It is full-bodied, with snappy acidity and fine tannins, and is noted with redcurrant, orange zest, tea leaf, and clove. Hold another year or two and drink 2025-2035.

Wine Spectator
A touch earthy in aroma initially, giving way to cherry, blackberry, violet and iron flavors. Taut, well-sculpted and vibrant, with a dense base of tannins elevating the finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2040.
