It displays a deep ruby-red colour tending toward garnet, with a complex nose featuring notes of black cherry, wild raspberry, and pomegranate, layered with Tuscan herbs, flint, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful yet remarkably graceful, showing a firm tannic spine and linear acidity that provide exceptional structure and aging potential. It undergoes roughly 18 months of aging in a combination of large oak casks, second-passage tonneaux, and select French oak barrels, resulting in a long, energetic finish with persistent notes of graphite, spice, and savory mineral nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eood Pairing:\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfectly complements charcoal-grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb, wild boar ragù, lasagna alla Bolognese, and aged Tuscan cheeses like Pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA deep and complex wine with licorice, dried cherries, pomegranates, bergamot and violets on the nose.

There is a lot of sweet ripeness with fruit preserves, a hint of earthiness and cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BSW Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45926480773350,"sku":"128175","price":61.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/Castello_Di_Monsanto_Chianti_Classico_Riserva.webp?v=1778177445","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/castello-di-monsanto-chianti-class-ris","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
