Nittardi's 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva reveals dark tones of plum and blackberry with tobacco, spice and dried currants. The warmth of the vintage is wrapped neatly within the fleshy consistency and rich texture of this Tuscan red. Soft chocolate and toasted almond appear in the background. This is a bigger and bolder expression of Sangiovese thanks to the vintage conditions that saw a long, dry growing season.
