The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Squarcialupi offers an extra level of density and complexity compared to the estate's easy-drinking base Chianti Classico. You also get a clear sense of the vintage difference between the two wines (2015 versus 2016), with this wine offering more richness and soft plumpness. This wine also offers an elegantly compact bouquet with ripe flavors of black cherry and spice. There is a touch of sourness on the close. Some 20,000 bottles were made. The exact blend is 90% Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
