Donna Laura Alteo Chianti Riserva 2023

Donna Laura Alteo Chianti Riserva is praised for its elegant and velvety texture, with harmonious tannins and acidity. It features rich flavors of red cherry, dark berries, and herbaceous notes. While some appreciate its complex layers of roasted fowl and soy sauce undertones, others enjoy its fresh black currant finish. It's considered a great value for its quality, especially paired with savory dishes.

A deep ruby hue introduces this Chianti Riserva, offering an aromatic bouquet of ripe black cherries, dried violets, and a touch of earthy forest floor. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and firm tannins, characteristic of the Sangiovese grape. Layers of dark plum and subtle leather notes unfold, underscored by a whisper of cedar and spice from oak aging. The finish is long and savory, with a hint of minerality that speaks to its Tuscan terroir. This wine exemplifies the elegance and complexity expected from a well-crafted Chianti Riserva.
