The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva has a generous side with ripe and plump fruit, but it also shows an elongated and linear side that drives a medium-long finish. It sits at an interesting juncture in which the primary fruit is beginning to show some of the extra depth that comes with age. This is a generous production of 200,000 bottles.
From a cooler vintage coming after the scorching hot previous year, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva has soft contours and lots of bright fruit with cherry, cassis and wild plum. This is a medium-weight Sangiovese with bright acidity. It ends with earthy notes of iris and blue flower.

Italy's most ancient wine region, Tuscany may not be a heavyweight in terms of quantity, but as the home of two of the country's most famous fine wines – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino – it certainly holds its own in terms of quality. Tuscany's climate ranges from Mediterranean on the coast to continental deep in the Apennines. More than two thirds of the province is covered with hills, an important terroir factor in its fine wines.
