Tenuta Di Arceno Chianti Classico Riserva 2018
Our Chianti Classico Riserva comes from some of the warmer, south-facing blocks at our estate. It is composed almost entirely of Sangiovese and spends one year in small French oak barrels. This is the epitome of modern Chianti with its dark color, pure fruit, balance, power and velvety tannins. The dominant flavors include violets, plums, cherries, orange peel, earth, licorice, cedar and smoke.

Full throttle black cherry fruit is currently tucked in behind oak and tannin structure. That said, a return to the bottle after a couple of days on the counter reveals a wine beginning to open and show its charms. This will resolve nicely over time – I would start with about five years. Of course, a long decanting near term will work wonders as well. Rich Cook Dec 7, 2021
