Notes of ripe berries, plum skins, ground spices and moist earth, following through to a medium body with ripe and supple tannins and vivid fruit character. Crunchy finish.

Smoke and forest fruit with a hint of mint. Extracted and big but youthful. Plummy, with ripe red fruits and some savoury notes, spice, smoke and a hint of fennel. Concentrated, with great acidity.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is complex and beguiling right out of the gate. Black cherry, menthol, new leather, licorice, mocha, lavender and spice are some of the many nuances that flesh out with a bit of air. There's plenty to admire in this resonant, layered Riserva from Meleto.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is a medium ruby red color and is ripe and expressive with notes of candied cherries, sweet herbs, and crushed flowers. I love the refreshing quality this wine retains for this vintage. With juicy fruit up front, it has a refreshing lift all the way through, with ripe tannins and a great mineral-toned, clean finish. It offers a touch of warming spice on the finish, with a toasted bit of incense, and is very well done. Drink 2024-2034.
