Castellare di Castellina 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva 750ml

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is going to need a few years to fully come together, as the tannins aren't fully integrated just yet. Bright red cherry fruit, mint, spice, white pepper, incense and tobacco lend terrific brightness to a nervy, tense Riserva that will have plenty to say somewhere down the line.
