Tasting notes
Here's another incredible value. The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva (a blend of mostly Sangiovese with other local grapes in a supporting role) shows balance from a classic vintage. Black fruit is interwoven with spice, crushed stone and grilled herb. All of the elements here are in place to showcase this promising Tuscan appellation. The house style is on the more extracted side, but that's also a trait of this vintage. Some 90,000 bottles were produced.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is dark, fleshy and super-expressive. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, leather and blood orange flesh out in a potent, earthy Riserva loaded with character. This bold, flavorful Riserva has quite a bit to offer.
Greve in Chianti. 92% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino. Mid to deep ruby. A concentrated cherry nose with hints of cardamom. Supple fruit lifted by bright acidity and firm, coating tannins. Very long and precise. (WS)
