Score: 93Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is a very beautiful wine. Dark and vivid in the glass, with terrific depth, the 2020 has a ton to offer. Black cherry, lavender, licorice, cloves and spice are all layered together in a sensual, mysterious Riserva that hits all the right notes. Terrific.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Linear and velvety with juicy red fruit underneath. Vivid and bright. Flavorful finish with mineral undertones. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 90Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva emerges from estate vineyards in Panzano. Sweet floral and spice notes add lovely inner perfume to this elegant, silky Riserva. This is an especially gracious, understated Riserva for Panzano. All the elements are nicely balanced in a Riserva that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The aromatics are especially expressive today. The 2019 spent 12 months in neutral oak followed by six months in cement.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2018Wine SpectatorAromas of vanilla and toasty oak lead off this version, which is backed by cherry and plum flavors. Vibrant, picking up tobacco and earth notes as this plays out on the finish. There is finesse and harmony here, just needs a few years to absorb the oak. Best from 2024 through 2037. 275 cases made, 50 cases imported.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
