  Consistent with everything they make. I’ve had so many since visiting the actual castle/vineyard in 2009. Love everything from here.

  Dignity defined in this enticing & refined Gran Selezione from Ricasoli. Medium red/ruby, light edges. Nose is virtually brimming with dark cherries, cranberries, orange zest, plums, rose petals & violets, lots of spice, leather, dried herbs, smoke & earth and a distinct menthol note. Velvety medium to medium+-bodied palate, elegant, with a grainy tannic backbone structure, fleshy yet with retained freshness, perfectly balanced acidity & lots of minerality, finishing on a dry, fruit-driven & earthy note. Sublime!

  Solid lovable Chianti Riserva that goes great with your Pizzas and tomato-based pasta. This wine was #1 in our blind-tasting of several chianti including the high end ones. Value for money and stock up, Its also lovable drinking on its own.

  A solid Chianti, with full red flavours, earthy, hint of menthol and big alcohol. Great concentration and weight, have this wine with your pizza, red pesto or arrabiata sauce pastas. Outstanding! Value for quality.

  This is a solid Chianti reserve that hits the right spots. Red fruits, mineral, the lively acidity, liquorice that wants you to back sipping. A nice find and value for money.
