The 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Clemente VII is a dark and savory expression with thick extraction and bold cherry-blackberry flavors. Those fruit nuances are folded within thick layers of spice and tobacco. This is rich and well proportioned Chianti Classico that finishes with fresh acidity and an attractive level of chewy density. The tannins are well integrated to give the wine firmness without the astringency.
