Chianti Classico Riserva<\/h1>\n

CLASSIC ELEGANCE<\/h2>\n

Our Riserva is made from our best Sangiovese grapes. This medium to full-bodied wine shows the elegance and charm of this classic Tuscan grape variety and reveals a finesse that certainly does justice to this historical denomination. Aromas such as cherry, spices, leather and chocolate harmonize perfectly with each other. The Sangiovese matures in tonneaux for 16 months, while the Merlot is matured in barriques. The cuv\u00e9e matures in the bottle for at least another year after bottling.<\/p>\n

Monica Larner noted in the Parker Wine Guide for the 2012 vintage: \u00abA wonderful wine that deserves attention. I am impressed.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ideal with: grilled meat, beef and veal roast, stews, grilled fish, pasta and rice dishes. Our favorite with risotto with fresh porcini mushrooms<\/p>\n
