The 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva di Fizzano also sees small percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot at the back of bright Sangiovese. This expression delivers extra weight and concentration with savory notes of dark spice, tobacco, wet earth, pressed violets and forest berry. Oak renderings add to the wine’s powerful finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
