Tasting note:

The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is a soft and supple wine with plenty of dark fruit, cherry and toasted spice, reflecting a warm growing season. All of these organic Brancaia wines are impeccably blended and show no hard edges thanks to the careful ripening of the fruit and ageing in oak. This Riserva has sweet tannins and a medium-bodied finish.
