Score 91/100 · Drink 2022-2027, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Feb 2023
From a cooler vintage coming after the scorching hot previous year, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva has soft contours and lots of bright fruit with cherry, cassis and wild plum. This is a medium-weight Sangiovese with bright acidity. It ends with earthy notes of iris and blue flower. Production is 200,000 bottles.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, smoke, licorice, tobacco and worn-in leather are signs of a wine that is evolving at a fast pace.
