Uggiano Roccialta Chianti Classico Riserva

Praised by Vinous as” super-expressive” with “tons of character,” this bombshell Chianti Classico Riserva is an absolute steal. It’s an organically farmed bottle that captures the linear poetry of the region like nothing else at this price.Pale ruby center, with crimson and orange tones at the rim. The nose shows a vibrant intensity, with red cherry, cranberry, black tea, rose petal, and dusty rock. The palate is directional and focused, with great energy that shows off its organic-farming roots. Flavors of cranberry, black tea, even a little tan tobacco come to mind, plus plenty of things to reveal over the next decade or so. This is classic Sangiovese persistence on full display at a fantastic price point! Drink now–2033.
