The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is a wild, potent wine. Black cherry, grilled herbs, leather, tobacco, smoke and incense bring out the darker side of Sangiovese. Deceptively medium in body, this brooding Riserva offers plenty of punch, even if it finishes feeling just a bit narrow.
Castelnuovo Berardenga. 100% Sangiovese. Certified organic. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Concentrated nose with dark-spice notes. Gravelly tannins and concentrated cherry fruit. Firmly structured and with plenty of potential. (WS)
