Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to an intimate encounter with a wine that whispers the history of Tuscany. This Chianti Classico Riserva from Riecine is not just a simple wine, it is an authentic expression, a sensory journey to the heart of the Chianti hills.
The Riecine estate, nestled in Gaiole in Chianti, is the guardian of an exceptional terroir. It is here, on this blessed land, that Sangiovese finds its noblest expression. This 2021 vintage, made from hand-harvested and hand-selected grapes, is the fruit of a respectful tradition and ancestral know-how.
From the very first glance, its robe envelops you in a deep and luminous red. On the nose, I perceive intense aromas of ripe cherry, enhanced by notes of spezie dolci and earthy accents that evoke the Mediterranean garrigue. On the palate, you will discover a vibrant and fresh attack, carried by elegant tannins and a full structure. The persistence of its flavors testifies to its great aging potential, promising you beautiful developments over the years.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is an ideal companion for the pleasures of the table. Imagine it alongside a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina, a roasted red meat or a flavorful game dish. It also pairs wonderfully with stagionati cheeses, where its complex aromas will elevate every bite. Let yourself be tempted by this Tuscan experience, a moment of sharing and discovery that you are not likely to forget.
