Tasting notes
The Riecine 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva (made with 100% Sangiovese) starts off on the right foot by offering a combination of richness and aromatic vertical lift. This mid-weight red feels concentrated but never heavy. It settles softly into rich cherry, blackberry and spice, all capped by pretty freshness. Fermentation occurs in glass-lined cement vats, and the wine is aged in botte grande for 24 months. This is a release of 6,500 bottles.

The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva is superb. A wine of presence and regal bearing, the 2022 captures all the nuance of this rugged Gaiole site. Beams of vertical tannin shape a Riserva of structure, restraint and power. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, pine, menthol and dried herbs are some of the many notes that explode on the back end. This is Riecine at its best.
