At €27.67 instead of €30.34, a Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva 2017 with a minimum of 24 months of aging remains within the price of its rank, without being a bargain.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll under the sun. This Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva 2017 from Ugo Bing is an invitation to that authenticity, a wine that speaks to you of tradition and landscapes. It embodies the spirit of a region where every sip tells a story.
We are here in the Colli Fiorentini, an appellation less well known than its big sisters, but which holds treasures. The Ugo Bing estate, with its respectful approach, grows Sangiovese there, the king grape variety of Tuscany, to give birth to this Riserva. Traditional fermentation, with extended maceration, is the key to its personality, then the wine waits a minimum of 24 months to refine.
Its color is a deep red, a promise of intensity. On the nose, you will discover a symphony of ripe cherry and small red fruits, enhanced by a delicate touch of violet and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is a dance of lively acidity and sapidity that supports a balanced structure. The tannins are present but polished, offering support without heaviness. The substance is intense enough to leave a beautiful persistence, with fruity returns and a hint of Mediterranean herbs that cleanse the palate.
This Chianti Riserva is the ideal companion for Tuscan flavors. I recommend it with grilled red meats, a stewed game dish or aged cheeses. It pairs with disconcerting ease with the classics of local cuisine. Serve it slightly chilled, or don't hesitate to let it breathe in a decanter to appreciate all its aromatic breadth. It is a wine to enjoy now, but it also has potential for evolution in the bottle for a few years, perfect for those looking for a concrete Chianti Riserva with rustic charm.
