Notes | |||
"Tenuta di Capraia Riserva is a deep ruby red wine. Its complex and sophisticated aroma reminds of fruits on a first step, gradually opening up and displaying spices and licorice. On the palate it is fleshy, harmonious and full-bodied, with a long persistence." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva is layer, complex, and full of character. Pine, menthol, spice, lavender and dried herbs lend quite a bit of aromatic complexity to this chiseled, bright Riserva. The 2017 is a wine of notable complexity and dimension. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2037." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "Rose, strawberry, cherry and currant flavors are the hallmarks of this pure, elegant Chianti Classico, with earth, tobacco and tree bark accents adding detail, while the dusty tannins flex their grip on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2035." —Wine Spectator "Lots of red fruit here, together with fresh flowers, black cherries and some peaches. Full-bodied with pretty depth of fruit and firm, juicy tannins. Acidity lurks behind the ripe fruit and tannins." —James Suckling |
