Riecine 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva 750ml

Closed with a copper-colored wax capsule, the 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva (with 8,000 bottles made) has hints of cherry liqueur and sweet crème de cassis on the bouquet, and there is some of the viscous nature of those descriptors in the mouthfeel. However, this pretty wine also shows depth and varietal clarity supported by medium structure.
