2018 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva is an intense, deep ruby red wine with subtle garnet glimmers. It has a full nose of blackberries, tobacco, and spice, with a rich perfume of red cherry, blood orange, smoke, and red flowers. The wine is soft on the palate with a fresh finish, mature tannins, and fruitiness. Medium-bodied with elegant concentration, fine tannins, and a persistent, generous acidity in the aftertaste, its floral perfume lingers ethereally.
