Lornano Le Bandite Chianti Classico Riserva 2016

This Chianti Classico Riserva opens with aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and dried violet, complemented by notes of tobacco, spice, and earthy undertones. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering vibrant red fruit layered with savory herbs and subtle oak influence. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced and lively. The finish is long and elegant, marked by spice, dried herbs, and classic Sangiovese character. 

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled steak, roast lamb, pasta with ragu, mushroom dishes, aged Pecorino, and traditional Tuscan cuisine.

91 Points - James Suckling

Rich black-fruit aromas and flavors, filled out with notes of nuts and chocolatey oak. Some turkish delight on the palate, too. Full-to medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and a tasty, savory finish. Good depth and layering here. Drink or hold.

87 Points- Decanter

Some lovely fresh fruit on the nose with minty nuances. Firm yet ripe tannins and long finish.
