Details

This is the most important wine produced by Colle Bereto, an excellent, pure Sangiovese fermented in 30 Hl wooden vats.  The wine is only released after 30 months maturation in 700-liter oak barrels and another 6 months of aging in bottles.
 

At the end of this careful aging process, Chianti Classico Riserva has a brilliant, intense ruby-red color, a nose of small, black berry fruits and jam, and roasted coffee beans with an intense and persistent 
flavor of cherry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors. Ripe and juicy, with wild rosemary, thyme, sage and iron accents. Features fine balance and terrific length, extending the ripe fruit and mineral elements. 
 

Excellent with rich tasty dishes, like steaks, game, pork ribs and lamb chops. Perfect to accompany aged cheeses.

Taking on complex spice and woodsy notes, this red is beginning to show some maturity. Reveals cherry and plum fruit flavors that begin to fade as the savory spice, leather and tobacco elements come forward, all underlined by a fleck of iron. Drink now through 2038.

Opening to a dark and velvety appearance, the 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva reveals a solid core of dark fruit with blackberry and dried cherry in generous supply. The fruit is indeed generous and rich in this softly layered and immediate red wine. The wine's informal, slightly soft personality makes it a versatile pairing partner to a classic steak frites, or to any other meat and potatoes combination for that matter.
