100% Sangiovese, with yields at 35 hl/ha. The wine was fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with macerations lasting over a month; malolactic took place in barrel. Aged 18 months in 228-350L barrels, 20% of which were new. This wine is a clear indication that Candialle is in no rush to release its wines.
Elegant and well structured, with notes of dark cherry, spice and a subtle, earthy finish.

The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva is a powerful, deep wine. I very much admire its imposing power and structure. However, there is a bit of reduction that gives me pause. Black cherry, lavender, mocha, spice and gravel infuse the 2017 with tons of character. This seems to handle four years in wood (medium and small barrels) well, with the exception of that reductive note.
