The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva is a robust, medium- to full-bodied expression of Sangiovese. The bouquet unravels slowly with black fruit aromas that are interwoven with thick layers of spice, tobacco, smoke and cured meat. This is a solid and fleshy wine to pair with succulent cuts of red meat or grilled steak. The tannins are firm but neatly packed into the thick texture of this warm-vintage Tuscan red. Some 5,000 bottles were made.
