More Information
The Chianti Classico DOCG came to be when the old restrictions on the Chianti name were lifted in 1932, prompting an explosion of new Chianti producers, some better than others. Chianti Classico wines, like this 2018 Riserva, celebrate the old ways – 30 months in Slavonian oak, indigenous yeast, hand harvested organic grapes.
The vines bathe in full sunshine on a steep slope with sweeping views of southern Tuscany (cool nights keep the ripening slow and steady). Close your eyes and picture it as you take your first sip. 93 points (James Suckling). Drink now till 2033.
