Riecine Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2022 750ml

Riecine Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2022 is an elegant and expressive Tuscan red wine crafted from 100% Sangiovese in the renowned Chianti Classico region. Produced by Riecine in Gaiole in Chianti, this Riserva reflects the estate's philosophy of creating wines that emphasise purity, freshness, balance and the distinctive character of the local terroir.

The grapes are sourced from organically managed vineyards at approximately 450–500 metres above sea level, where limestone and clay soils contribute freshness, structure and mineral character. Careful vineyard management and hand harvesting allow the estate to preserve the quality and aromatic expression of the Sangiovese.

The 2022 vintage offers a vibrant and fruit-driven expression of Chianti Classico Riserva, combining ripe red berries and cherries with floral, herbal and subtle earthy nuances. Fresh acidity provides energy, while fine tannins give the wine structure and a refined texture.

Matured in oak before bottling, the wine develops additional complexity while retaining the freshness and natural character of the Sangiovese.
