The distinctive landscape of rolling hills and perched villages renders the ambiance of Tuscany as unforgettable to the visitor as its wines are to the discerning palate. Chianti Classico Riserva can only be produced in a very limited area near the city of Florence, its de facto capital. This gorgeous red from Borgo Salcetino is crafted from 95% sangiovese and 5% canaiolo and vinified in wood in the superbly beautiful and indescribably isolated hamlet of Radda in Chianti. With velvety, bright raspberry and cherry, licorice, and a complex woodsy character carrying sylvan notes of mushroom, any pasta or game dish would be a perfect match. Authentic, traditional, handsomely balanced wine for the true chianti lover. James Suckling, 92 points (Jenny)
