Castellare di Castellina 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva 750ml

The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with copious dark fruit, leather and sweet spice. There's plenty of depth and appeal, but the oak imprint is also quite strong. With a bit less oak this could be a materially transparent expression of Sangiovese, but it is undoubtedly very well done.
