Description
Cherry, dried herbs, and that unmistakable Tuscan swagger. This Chianti Classico Riserva is the kind of Italian red wine you open when you want flavour that keeps unfolding, not a one-note pour.
- Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet edges, a clear, glossy look that hints it’s ready for a proper slow sip.
- Nose: Sour cherry and ripe red plum up front, then dried oregano, cedar, and a touch of leather that gives it that “grown-up” vibe.
- Taste: Dry and structured, with juicy red fruit, savoury herbs, and firm tannins that add grip and make food taste even better.
- Acidity: Bright, mouth-watering acidity that keeps the wine feeling fresh, and keeps you going back for the next sip.
- Tannins: Medium to firm, bringing that classic Chianti chew that fans love, especially with rich, tomato-based dishes.
- Body: Medium-bodied, so it hits with flavour and structure without feeling heavy.
- Finish: Long and savoury, with lingering cherry skin, spice, and a faint earthy note that makes it feel layered.
If you’ve ever had a Chianti that felt a little too simple, Riserva is the upgrade. More time to develop means more layers in the glass, and you feel it in the way the fruit, herbs, and savoury notes stack up instead of shouting over each other. It’s still unmistakably Chianti Classico, it just has more to say.
This is the bottle you reach for when you want a red that plays well with dinner but is still fun on its own. The bright acidity keeps it lively, the tannins give it shape, and the savoury edge makes it seriously satisfying if you’re into complex, food-friendly Italian red wine.
And because it’s from Chianti Classico in Tuscany, you get that signature balance people chase, red-fruit brightness, herbal depth, and a bit of earthiness that makes the whole thing feel grounded and real.
Fun Fact: Chianti Classico bottles often carry the Black Rooster (Gallo Nero) symbol, a nod to an old Florence vs. Siena rivalry where a rooster legend helped define the region’s original boundaries.
