What an incredible value for authentic Riserva Chianti Classico! This wine from the Castellani family is made of mostly Sangiovese with hints of local grapes, and has red and black fruit flavors with nuances of leather, earth, licorice and sage. Flavorful and delicious on its own, it is even lovelier with a pasta dinner or dried salami, assorted cheeses, oven roasted tomatoes and spiced olives. Bring to your favorite local Italian BYO and Buon Appetito! For local shoppers, this Chianti comes in a wood box, making a stunning gift case for under $200. The historic Chianti Classico region of Tuscany has been producing wines since the 13th century.

A tight and linear red with blackberry, tile and crushed-stone aromas and flavors. Hazelnut undertones. Medium body, firm and chewy tannins and a lively finish. I like the dusty texture to this. Drink or hold. Better with a little more bottle age.
