Aromas of flowers and dark berries with hints of iodine follow through to a medium to full body. Hints of chocolate and new wood. Firm tannins that need to resolve with time and a chewy finish.

James Suckling

Giacomo Nardi's 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva opens to a medium rich appearance and a mid-weight approach in the mouth. The bouquet sees elements of red cherry, tilled earth, button mushroom and licorice. The wine is light and lean in terms of mouthfeel and a bit short on the finish. It is gentle enought for a coq au vin with carrots black olives and rosemary.

Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Frutta dolce, erbe aromatiche, una speziatura sottile, un velo floreale su tutto; il sorso è elegante nonostante l’energia tannica, graduale eppure inesorabile nello sviluppo, di perfetto nitore fino alla magnifica, ampia spazialità del finale.
