Score: 93Vintage 2016Wine AdvocateThis is a fresh and beautiful wine, and my favorite bottle among this set of new releases from Terra di Seta. The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Guardo Giro is 100% Sangiovese that ages in French oak for 16 months. Only 1,500 bottles were released. Blue flower, forest bramble and wild cherry open the bouquet. Those classic aromas are backed by autumn leaf, spice and licorice. This mid-weight wine (with 15% alcohol) shows subtle notes of age with smoke and tar, and it's drinking nicely right now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2016Vinous MediaThe 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Guardo Giro is a wine of notable character and complexity. There is so much going on. Lavender, orange peel, rose petal and cinnamon lend a real sense of exoticism to the Sangiovese fruit. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner sweetness and perfume, all supported by bright acids and veins of tannin that ensure fine drinking for years to come.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
