Riecine Chianti Classico 2019 750 ml

The Riecine Chianti Classico is well above the cut for the price and value. Fruit forward with a seamless and refined texture, it’s serious Sangiovese upon pulling the cork. Not solely a one-trick pleasure pony, the wine has extra gears and demonstrates its versatility and depth with more aeration, if it can be resisted long enough. More classically savoury characteristics of Chianti Classico begin to unfold with time open in its youth and surely with more maturation in the cellar, and are supported with the acidic snap from its high altitude and endowed with a sappy red fruit core. This limestone and clay vineyard Chianti Classico is aged in large old oak barrels to further highlight its purity and high-toned frequency.

Antonio Galloni says: "The 2019 Chianti Classico is soft, supple and inviting, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Bright acids perk up a core of red Sangiovese fruit, spice and crushed flowers. This fruity, forward Chianti Classico is nicely done."
