Istine "LEVIGNE" Chianti Classico Riserva
Vintage: | 2020 |
---|---|
Description: | Vinous 96 Points - "The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne is fabulous. In fact, the 2020 is one of the best Riservas I can remember tasting here. Black cherry, plum, graphite, cloves, menthol and licorice are some of the many notes that meld together in this deep, potent Riserva. In the past, I have found the Riserva a bit marked by oak, but that is not the case here. The 2020 spent two full years in cask." - Antonio Galloni. Kerin O'keefe 96 Points - "a blend of the estates Istine and Casanova dellAia vineyards in Radda and Cavarchione site in Gaiole, the 2020 Istine Riserva is a beauty. Fermented in concrete tanks and aged for two years in oak casks followed another year bottle aging, the smooth, delicious palate delivers succulent black cherry, blood orange, grilled rosemary and eucalyptus before a bitter almond close. Boasting a great depth of flavor, its balanced by polished tannins and fresh acidity that lend seamless support. Drink 20262035. Abv: 14% Kerin OKeefe October 2023 kerinokeefe.com" |
