Notes | |||
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Casaloste is produced from a selection of the best grapes of the farm and is obtained mainly from Sangiovese grapes, with a small percentage of other native red grape varieties. With this wine Giovanni B. d’Orsi wanted to enhance the power of the terroir and respecting the typicality of the various vintages. It is an aging wine, able to express new and interesting sensations year after year." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva is powerful, deep and layered right out of the glass. At the same time, there's plenty of tannin too, so a bit of aging is probably a good idea. Black cherry, kirsch spice, new leather, licorice and mocha all open with a bit of time. This extroverted, deep Riserva has a ton to offer. A kick of freshness on the finish nicely balances the radiant intensity of the fruit." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
