The Wine
Lying at the centre of the original appellation, Chianti Classico defines the region’s top echelon wines. This is a superb red from the Taddei family, who have owned the 180 hectare Lornano estate since 1904. Their award winning winemaker is the exuberant and talented Franco Bernabei, a former ‘Winemaker of the Year’ whose nickname is Mr Sangiovese. Classico Riserva is the highest quality level in Chianti. What’s more this wine is from the outstanding 2012 vintage, the warm weather of which ripened the grapes to perfection.
