Tenuta di Arceno Riserva Chianti Classico 2020

A supple, fluid red marked by flavors of macerated cherry, raspberry and boysenberry. Well-structured, with flashes of graphite and tobacco as this builds to the long, compact finish. All the components are there, this just needs time. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2042. Ranked #24 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2023. Score – 94.
