"A very fine riserva with black-cherry, walnut with some cedar aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with lovely tension and a fresh finish. Racy and refined. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is slightly deeper ruby-hued and brings a touch more density and depth, with ripe black and red fruits, savory Mediterranean herbs, spicy wood, and graphite-driven aromatics. It's rich, medium-bodied, and concentrated, with ripe tannins and a great finish. Aged two years all in oak, drink bottles through 2031."

"Black cherries, walnuts and black chocolate with a hint of red tile. It’s full-bodied with juicy fruit and a savory undertone to the burnt-citrus character. Opulent, yet reserved at the same time. Gorgeous. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
