Castello di Albola Chianti Classico Riserva 2015
Tuscany, ItalyIt's arguably never been a more confusing time to buy Chianti Classico, but this Riserva provides a good reason to look past the noise. It has an attractive nose that just exudes sangiovese with dried sour cherry, crushed rose petals, and sandalwood. There's also a subtle, sappy oak note, thanks to aging 40 percent in French oak and 60 percent in large traditional Slavonian oak casks. The tannins are surprisingly fine for sangiovese, with fresh acidity, and integrated 13.5% abv. A well balanced, seamless wine.Tasted: 16 October 2019Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
