This Riserva is only made available each year in very small quantities to hand-picked specialist retailers and top restaurants. Brilliant ruby red colour. Fine raspberry and floral notes dominate the spicy nose. Very juicy on the palate, tannins and acidity are well integrated. Riecines Riserva has length and suppleness right through to the long fruity finish. The elegance and fine melting texture are impressive. Once again, this is Sangiovese at the top level that Riecine is known for! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Riserva is intended to offer a panorama of the best characteristics of the vintage - with broader shoulders than the Annata. In the glass, the 2022 emphasises the beauty of the fragrance and the juiciness of the wine. Aromas of brushwood, mace and violets emanate from the glass. The medium-bodied and elegantly concentrated wine has a straightforward drinking flow and tangy acidity. Jasmine and camomile permeate the red berry centre. It is still dense, but the tannins are soft and graceful." Decanter

"A reductive, slightly leafy wine that shows bright red cherries, pomegranate, liquorice and a hint of flowers. Light to medium-bodied. The attack is crisp with firm, chalky tannins and savoury acidity. Powerful on the tight, tense finish." James Suckling

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva is superb. A wine of presence and regal bearing, the 2022 captures all the nuance of this rugged Gaiole site. Beams of vertical tannin shape a Riserva of structure, restraint and power. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, pine, menthol and dried herbs are some of the many notes that explode on the back end. This is Riecine at its best." Vinous
