Winemaker Notes

Intense ruby red in color with fruit and spice aromas. Light touches from the oak aging underscore the cherry and red berry notes that are typical of the Sangiovese grape.

Critical Acclaim

JS 92
James Suckling
Very aromatic with dark fruits, dried meats and flowers that follow through to a full body, round tannins and a fresh finish. Tangy and delectable. This is always a delicious Chianti Classico Riserva. Drink now.
 
WE 91
Wine Enthusiast
Made with Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this opens with aromas of red berry, plum, violet and whiff of cedar. The elegantly structured, savory palate delivers juicy black cherry, clove, ground pepper and grilled herb alongside fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. It's well balanced and already accessible.
 
WS 90
Wine Spectator
A tightly wound version, this boasts black cherry, raspberry, leather, spice and tea flavors. Leans toward the tannins on the finish, staying firm, fresh and long. Best from 2017 through 2023.
