2021 Brancaia Chianti Classico Riserva

A biodynamic blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot matured for 16 months in barrel. Midnight black dark red heart with a red to dark red hue. Spicy red to black currant, red cherry and rose petal aromas evolve out of the glass followed by some earth, dried herb and tobacco notes. Savoury red to black currant fruits are intermeshed with dusty earth, tobacco, dried herb, leather and spicy cedar elements. Lively acidity and chalky tannins lend energy, tension and grip to the elegant finish. - 94+ Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
