Plenty of sweet plums on the nose with orange peel. It’s full-bodied with juicy ripe fruit and creamy tannins. Some savory, earth and meaty character in the aftertaste. Drink or hold. (JS)

Notes

The 2019 Barone Ricasoli "Rocca Guicciarda" Chianti Classico Riserva (DOCG) is a gorgeous, deeply soulful, and authoritatively structured historical classic that brilliantly captures the textbook precision, density, and age-worthy grace of this benchmark vintage in Gaiole in Chianti. Francesco Ricasoli crafts this traditional estate pillar primarily from Sangiovese, bolstered by small, localized splashes of Merlot and Canaiolo. Rooted in the fractured, stony Alberese limestone and schistose Galestro clays of Brolio's high-altitude vineyards, these rugged sites imbue the fruit with fantastic structural backbone and raw, dark-fruited energy.
