"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."

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.
