Riecine Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019 750ml

Riecine Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019 is an elegant and expressive Tuscan red wine produced by Riecine in Gaiole in Chianti. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese, this Riserva showcases the estate's distinctive approach to Chianti Classico, combining purity of fruit with freshness, structure and refined tannins.

The grapes are sourced from organically managed vineyards located at approximately 450–500 metres above sea level. The limestone and clay soils contribute to the wine's natural freshness and mineral character, while the mature vines provide concentration and complexity.

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before fermentation in concrete tanks. Extended maceration extracts colour, flavour and tannins from the Sangiovese, while maturation in large oak casks allows the wine to develop greater depth and complexity without overwhelming its natural fruit character.

The 2019 vintage delivers a refined combination of ripe red berries, cherry, floral notes and subtle earthy and spicy nuances. Vibrant acidity and polished tannins provide balance, structure and a persistent finish.
