2019 Chianti Classico Riserva, Casaloste
Tasting note
Complex and powerful with plum, dark cherry, mocha and some oak notes. The palate is rich and harmonious, with fine acidity and beautiful plush tannins.
Our thoughts
The quality of this exemplary Riserva stands as testament to the slow, painstaking progress made by Giovanni Battista d’Orsi and his wife Emilia since they purchased the estate, then in rundown state, in the early 1990s. The 10 hectares of vines have been tenderly cultivated and farmed organically to yield grapes that are vinified in a similarly sensitive manner, with minimal intervention. As a result, Casaloste stands today among the leading producers of the reputed Panzano commune – as witnessed by this deliciously drinkable bottling.

Vinous
The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is a potent, heady wine. Black cherry, spice, mocha, licorice and sweet French oak are all amplified in this decidedly sumptuous Riserva. Aging was done in French oak barrel. The 2019 is forward and also maturing, which suggests it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. The blend is 95% Sangiovese with dollops of other grapes.
