"This sweet, rich, medium to full-bodied Chianti (all the Riservas are made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo) exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color and a moderately intense, sweet nose of tobacco, red and black fruits, and toasty oak. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, with excellent, possibly outstanding richness, this firmly-structured yet accessible Chianti . . . . is an impressive 1990."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
The historic heart of the Chianti zone, producing Sangiovese-based reds of bright cherry fruit, savory herbs and firm structure.
