Castello di Radda's Chianti Classico Riserva from 2021 is a Tuscan red built on Sangiovese, the varietal that defines the region. Riserva designations require extended aging before release, so this wine arrives ready to drink, with the structure and depth that come from time in barrel and bottle.
Chianti Classico typically shows bright cherry and earth, with enough tannin to age gracefully but enough balance to enjoy now. This is a wine built for both immediate pleasure and the cellar.

Ripe red berries, plums, dried orange peel, rosemary and sweet spices on the nose. The palate is juicy and vibrant, with a medium body and a compact, almost silky tannin structure. It shows a pure core of fruit and a long, cedary finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (James Suckling, July 2025)
