Le Baròncole Riserva impresses with its juicy fruit and stone fruit flavours on the nose and continues this beautiful impression on the palate. Cherry, sour cherries, blackberry, very juicy and powerful in appearance, completely fills the palate, but always remains lively and elegant. Silky, fine-grained tannins and a long, balsamic finish whet the appetite for the next glass. Good substance. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of bright red cherries, chalky minerality and camphor. Medium-bodied with savory flavors, moderate refreshing acidity and firm, dusty tannins. Good length." James Suckling

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baroncole is packed with dark red cherry and plum fruit, new leather, cedar, blood orange and spice. Dense and multi-layered, with outstanding depth, the 2022 is endowed with real structure. The oak, which is sometimes a little intrusive in this bottling, is particularly well integrated and reflects a gradual evolution towards bigger wood and an overall lighter touch. Beautiful." Vinous

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is 97% Sangiovese with a 3% dab of Canaiolo added for softness. This wine shines with brightness and pretty intensity. The bouquet reveals red and purple fruits, tart plum and cherry. It offers nice complexity from a warm vintage, with a velvety texture and excellent length." Wine Advocate

"The earliest harvest since 2017, 2022 saw grapes for Le Baròncole picked between 29 September and 4 October. A complex and fascinating mouthful, it exudes Chianti Classico’s warm, untamed southern stretch with all the intensity and density of the hot, arid summer. Mint chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, terracotta and plum burst from the glass. A savoury, umami palate proposes salty minerals, iron and sundried tomato. Grainy textured tannins coat the mouth and cling persistently, lending quite a chew. Remarkably balanced and composed, though it will need to time to integrate its significant tannins and wood imprint." Decanter
