The Wine
Chianti is certainly one of the best loved wines of all Italy. No wonder, when they taste as good as this fine vintage Classico Riserva. It’s a forgotten cuvée of 2010 from a family estate – next door to Antinori’s – that has been cultivating vines since 1926. Using largely king grape Sangiovese, with splashes of juicy Merlot and perfumed Canaiolo, it’s a must-have for Italian wine lovers and a bit of a steal, too. Six months in French oak and six years maturing in bottle have produced a fine wine that’s hard to put down. Savoury spice complexity is now perfectly integrated with intense ripe red fruits and floral notes. A glorious glassful of mellow silky flavours that makes a perfect partner to pork casserole, game or mushroom stroganoff.
"Gorgeously balanced Chianti. What a great deal. Very impressive for the price"
