Proudly presenting a Chianti Riserva truly touched by greatness. Firstly, it’s from a Tuscan vintage that Robert Parker awarded 90 points. It comes from an acclaimed estate founded in 1904 and is made by a father and son team (‘papa’ is known as ‘Mister Sangiovese’, such is his mastery of Chianti’s signature grape). Finally, the wine was aged in barrels from Pomerol’s Château Pétrus (the estate owner’s wife knows Pétrus icons the Moueix family!). We’d love to reveal more. But the estate has a premium reputation to protect so, in return for an extraordinary deal on a cancelled order, we’ve agreed not to name them. But we can tell you that this Riserva is a wonderful expression of a benchmark year. Decant to let its complexity fully unfurl.
