Casaloste Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 (750ml) *
Product price
Description
The Riserva designation in Chianti Classico signals a wine held longer before release, and this one from Casaloste, made from Sangiovese grown in the hills of Tuscany, spent fifteen months in used French oak. The 2020 vintage shows the fuller, more structured side of the appellation, a Sangiovese built for depth rather than early charm.
Expect black cherry and plum at the core, deepened by notes of new leather, licorice and a curl of incense. It fills the palate, full-bodied and ample, with real weight and presence. Plush, rounded contours pull the fruit, structure and savory elements together into something with genuine impact.
