With fruit from Castellina in Chianti, the Banfi 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva opens to dark plummy flavors with tart blackberry and wild cherry. This is a simple and streamlined expression that delivers on the basic promise of a Riserva with solid and powerful fruit tones that are enhanced by spice, earth and crushed flowers. This is your quintessential trattoria wine to serve with a truly Tuscan pennette alla boscaiola.

Savory notes of earth, salt and wild Tuscan scrub mark this lithe, fluid red, the flavors fused to a solid line of dusty tannins and ending with a dry, leafy aftertaste. Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2035. 24,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
