2021 Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva


Amazing press across the board!
Could this make the Wine Spectator top 100??  We hope!

2021 Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva...$29.99
Outstanding vintage for Chianti!
This luscious, dense red is packed with cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and violet flavors. Its tannins are ripe and refined, while the vibrant acidity keeps everything focused. An iron streak weaves through the long, energetic finish. This is approachable now yet will be better in 2–3 years.
Rated 95/100 Wine Spectator
A deep and complex wine with licorice, dried cherries, pomegranates, bergamot and violets on the nose. Soft on the palate, it’s powerful and extracted yet not without grace due to velvety tannins, a full body and tight-knit acidity. Super-tense finish. Drink or hold.
