The wine required a moment to relax before the tannins emerged, making it a top notch pairing with pasta and red sauce.

Voss Experts4.5

This Chianti Classico Riserva presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its robust character. The bouquet unfolds with classic Sangiovese aromas of ripe cherry, dried herbs, and a whisper of violet, underscored by subtle notes of forest floor and cedar from its oak maturation. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and firm tannins, providing a structured backbone to its concentrated flavors of blackcurrant and earthy undertones. The finish is long and savory, with a touch of spice and minerality, marking it as a quintessential expression of the Chianti Classico terroir.
