chianti classico DOCG Riserva 2007
An intensely sunny year rewarded us with a great vintage. The Riserva 2007 displays all the typical features of Radda-grown Sangiovese in generous years: a weighty but austere body overall, dry, well-controlled tannins, and lovely ripe, concentrated, tangy red berry fruit.
