Tasted on March 7, 2024. #DailyWine #Wine #Sangiovese #Tuscany #ChiantiClassico #Riecine

A wonderfully tasty Chianti Classico that reminds me why this is my favorite wine denomination.

Dry red wine, 13.5% alcohol. Medium opacity, garnet color. Medium intensity nose, with jujubes, raspberry, pomegranate, and floral notes. The aromas are really pure and attractive. In the palate it is medium body and with good concentration of red fruit. What really stands out is the vibrant acidity that marries with the intense aromas, making this a very seductive wine. The texture coats your palate. Long finish.

Impressive wine for texture, concentration, and flavor profile.

Second tasting on April 26, 2024.

Medium-dark opacity, pomegranate color. Medium-intense nose, filled with red fruit (raspberry, strawberry) and sage. Medium-full body, concentrated flavors, and a smooth texture – smoother than many peers. Finishes long with red fruit.
