The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Volpaia is an extremely rewarding and inviting wine. Juicy and racy, the Riserva captures the appeal of this hot, dry year. After vinification, the wine is aged in oak barrels (French and Slovenian) for 24 months, followed by a 3-month rest in bottle to allow it to complexify.
Appearance
Chianti Classico Riserva is ruby red with garnet highlights.
Aroma
The nose is elegant, with notes of spices and ripe red and black fruit. Sweet red fruits, cedar and blood orange give the 2017 a striking aromatic intensity.

Taste
There's a lot to like about this vintage, starting with its depth and volume. It's a well-structured wine with supple tannins and a very long finish.
