Vallepicciola Chianti Classico Riserva 2018

James Suckling 93
“An inky nose with licorice and dried herbs. Full-bodied with a good, silky core of ripe dark fruit and berries. Jasmine and oolong come through. Smooth, velvety tannins that are coated in delicious fruit. Lovely texture and balance here. Drink now or hold.”

Wine Enthusiast 88
“This has aromas recalling leather, prune, violet and French oak. The prune note carries over to the rather evolved, full-bodied palate along with star anise, sour cherry and espresso.
