Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva
"This wine shows crisp ripe red berry and cherry f ruit flavors and aromas sustained by a fresh acidic note offset by classic Sangiovese notes of earth mushrooms and leather with an elegant tannic backbone." Winemaker's Notes

The Chianti Classico "Riserva Ducale" stems from an accurate selection of the best grapes during harvest. Picking started from the third week of September and lasted until mid October. The alcohol fermentation, aided by racking and punching down, took place in thermo-controlled stainless-steel vats at an average temperature of 26-28°C for approximately 10 days. The maceration on the skins continued for another 14 days. After completing the malo-lactic fermentation Riserva Ducale was aged for...

90 Points - Robert ParkerThe 2005 Chianti Classico Riserva reveals a profile of red berries, herbs, crushed flowers and spices. The wine possesses an attractive up-front personality and finessed tannins, but it does taper off a bit on the mid-palate. In this rain-plagued vintage Monsanto did not produce its Riserva Il Poggio, and the best fruit from that site was added to this Riserva bottling, which was aged in a variety of used French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017.

Badia A Coltibuono 2006 Chianti Classico Riserva
Tre Bicchieri - Tasting Notes - The Chianti Classico Riserva Badia a Coltibuono when it is still young is an intense ruby red color but as it matures it gradually develops brick hues. It has a well-balanced acidity with a fruity and persistent aftertaste on the palate that blends well with spicy notes of oak. If well cellered it can undertake a long period of ageing in the bottle.
