I Sodi Chianti Classico Riserva 2019

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva gives you bang for your buck. The bouquet is busy and fun with black fruit, olive, smoke and pencil shaving. There is quite a bit of oak spice and tar and it’s almost too much of a good thing. This Riserva finishes on a lean and polished note. This blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo. Drink date: [now]-2027. Score – 92. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 9, 2023)
