Villa Puccini Riserva Chianti 2019

Brick red color. Aromas and flavors of tart and ripe red cherry, chocolate covered orange, chocolate covered cherry, and lavender and tomato leaf with a satiny, crisp, bone-dry medium body and a tingling, refreshing, medium-length finish evoking notes of tomato confit, chocolate covered orange, cherry, and oregano with coating, grippy tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A truly pleasant, no nonsense, and direct expression of Sangiovese; enjoy frequently. Exceptional. Best Buy. Score – 94. (tastings.com, March 13, 2023)
