Melini has farmed this estate vineyard for decades, crafting a Riserva of pure varietal character: red fruits, irises, woodland undergrowth, and toasted almonds, with the firm, age-worthy backbone that defines great Chianti Classico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews - Vintage 2020\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling — 93 pts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrant with blue fruit, dried herbs, crushed stones and raspberries. Tightly wound and medium- to full-bodied with tender red fruit and an elegant rigidity that is very appealing. Pure Sangiovese from a single vineyard in Radda in Chianti.
