WineDiva's Review

The Riserva tier is the second highest level of Chianti Classico wines after Gran Selezione. This one, from Zingarelli is Sangiovese with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that was aged in oak cask for 24 months before bottling.
A rusty ruby shade, it delivers notes of dried strawberries, rose petals, vanilla, beets and balsamic, fine spice, cedar and cigar. Earthy and sweet describes the palate, bright red fruits, cedar, spice and cigar flavours mimic the nose. Elegant and classic with chalky lingering tannins.
