Il Grigio da San Felice Chianti Classico Riserva 2019
Tuscany, ItalyFrom the well regarded 2019 vintage, Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva is always an assembly of the best grapes carefully selected by hand from the vine. The nose is rich and expressive, mixing forest floor, violets, and wild berries. The plate is a streamlined affair of dry red fruit and black licorice with some fine grained tannins to shed. There is no rush to drink this wine, but if you plan on something autumnal, like a roasted bird or a mushroom dish, it will work. The San Felice Estate is located at Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena, surrounded by a calcareous marl breakdown of Alberese and Galestro limestones mixed with an abundant gravel-pebble mixture. 80% of the wine matures for 24 months in 60 or 90 hl in Slavonian oak casks and 20% in 225 litre French barriques, followed by a further six months or so in the bottle.Tasted: 11 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores and select private retailers |
