The 2021 La Spinetta Chianti Riserva Casanova is a beautifully structured Sangiovese from Tuscany, produced by the renowned La Spinetta estate at its Casanova property. Aged to achieve greater depth and complexity, this Riserva displays classic aromas of red cherry, wild berries and violet, complemented by notes of dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and balance, while the texture remains elegant and polished through to a long, dry finish with excellent persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for lovers of traditional Tuscan reds, offering both immediate appeal and the ability to develop further in bottle. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–10 years. Pairs beautifully with slow-cooked ragù, grilled steak, roast lamb, wild mushroom dishes and aged hard cheeses.
