The Chianti Classico Riserva is a step-up from the already impressive Chianti, offering frankly exceptional value at only £25.00. Layered and complex with sapid notes of red fruit and standout savouriness, this is a truly lovely Chianti. 

92/100 - The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is packed with inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and new leather. Bright and juicy, with terrific depth, the Riserva is a winner, and arguably the best wine in the range in terms of quality, price and overall value. Terrific. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

17++/20 - Deep ruby. Deep, concentrated cherry-fruit nose with a suggestion of oak. Elegant, fluid palate with proper, chewy tannic grip on the finish. Still a little closed and deserves more time. - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com

91/100 - Sweet fruit, toast, dark chocolate and dried berries. Medium-bodied with lovely acidity. Balanced, with layers of complexity. Youthful, powerful and modern. - Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW, Sara Bachiorri, Jason Millar; Decanter

90/100 - The Castello di Querceto 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva shows dark cherry fruit, blackcurrant, spice and sweet potting soil. The wine sports a mid-weight texture that definitely does reveal extra volume and softness in this hot vintage. This is a pretty, immediate wine to enjoy over the next 10 years. The blend is 92% Sangiovese and 8% complementary indigenous grapes aged in oak for a brief 12 months. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

92/100 - Aromas of red berries and dark chocolate with some spice and dried flower undertones. Medium-bodied, juicy and sleek with crunchy acidity. Tannins are polished and chalky. Fresh and attractive. Drink now or hold. - James Suckling

On the nose,a complex nose of rich dark fruits and leather.

On the palate, flavours of black cherry and plums abound alongside subtle touches of smoked earthiness and very rounded tannins.

Best enjoyed after a few years in bottle, drink now - 2030.

Consider pairing with bistecca alla fiorentina, aged cheeses, or tomato-based red meat dishes.
