Chianti Classico is one of the world's most undervalued wines, yet the Riservas have historically been over-manipulated, sacrificing finesse for flamboyance.
Producers sought to justify the perceived higher status of Riserva wines by aging them in new French oak, overshadowing the purity of the Sangiovese grape.
In the last decade, winemakers have loosened their grip on heavy-handed techniques, allowing vineyards to express their true character, resulting in vast improvements.
The greatness of Chianti Classico Riserva, once hidden under layers of winemaking makeup, is now showing through, revealing its true potential.
