JS James Suckling: 92 Points
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.

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.

The nose has an initial burst of strawberry candy that quickly turns to astringent notes of sour cherry, plum skin, tomato leaf and flinty soil. Those notes preface a savory palate, with the fruit skin, tomato and soil all lingering before a bitter finish of chocolate and orange. Best Buy
