Sparkling, medium-dense ruby garnet. Powerful and energetic, expressive and dense is the Rancia Riserva from the single vineyard of the same name. The bouquet is characterised by a deliciously ripe and full-bodied fruit as well as mineral notes. The taste is earthy, rich in tannins and marked by the terroir, beautifully articulated, fine and with an enjoyable length. A wine that requires sensitivity and/or a few years of rest. SUPERIORE.DE

"Exceedingly inviting bouquet of ripe raspberries and pepper; the attack fresh, the tight tannins well integrated, the finish youthful on nuances of dark fruits and balsamic notes. Excellent food companion." Vinum

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling core. In the nose a mixture of noble wood and cranberries, underpinned by spicy-herbal aromas, multilayered and inviting, seems Mediterranean. On the palate with nice juiciness and tightly woven tannin, shows salty, dense, with decent persistence on the final." Falstaff

"Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. A full ripe red-fruit nose with minty notes and hints of malt indicating some development is taking place but this is in a sweet spot right now. Elegant, ripe, balanced and super-attractive with silky tannins. Long, elegant and delicious and with gorgeous balance." Jancis Robinson

"There is a green, leafy edge along with vanilla aromas surrounding the black cherry and resinous oak flavors on the palate in this sinewy red. Finishes on the chewy side, with austere tannins. Needs time." Wine Spectator

"This is really subtle and complex with cherry, herb, floral and sage aromas that follow through to a full body with firm, fine tannins that give form and energy to the wine. Racy and very fine." James Suckling

"The Rancia is elegant and streamlined with a medium-bodied style that breaks from some of the more concentrated vintages we've seen in the past. The bouquet reveals a lot of dark or black character with blackcurrant, tar, resin, iron ore and a dusty hint of dry graham cracker (which reminds us of the vintage heat). Structurally, the wine offers a solid and firm footing, but it would benefit from further evolution." Robert Parker

"The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It's a magical wine in every way." Vinous
