Le Baròncole Riserva captivates right from the nose with its juicy fruit and stone fruit aromas, and carries this lovely impression through to the palate. Cherries, sour cherries and blackberries – very juicy and powerful on the palate – fill the mouth completely, whilst remaining lively and elegant throughout. Silky, fine-grained tannins and a long, balsamic finish leave you longing for the next glass. A fine wine. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cherry, blackberry, tar and iron flavors are framed by toasty oak in this fluid yet robust red. Balanced, leaving a feeling of dense tannins and oak spice notes on the finish." Wine Spectator

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

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baroncole is bursting with dark red cherry and plum fruit, new leather, cedar wood, blood orange and spices. Dense and multi-layered, with outstanding depth, the 2022 vintage possesses real structure. The oak, which can sometimes be a little overpowering in this vintage, is particularly well integrated and reflects a gradual evolution towards more pronounced oak and an overall lighter touch. Beautiful." Vinous

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is made from 97% Sangiovese with a 3% blend of Canaiolo, which lends it softness. This wine shines with brightness and lovely intensity. The bouquet reveals red and purple fruits, tart plum and cherry. It offers the lovely complexity of a warm vintage, with a velvety texture and excellent length." Wine Advocate

"The earliest harvest since 2017, in 2022, took place between 29 September and 4 October for Le Baròncole. A complex and fascinating treat for the palate, radiating the warm, untamed south of Chianti Classico with all the intensity and density of the hot, dry summer. Mint chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, terracotta and plum pour from the glass. On the palate, one detects salty minerals, iron and sun-dried tomatoes. Grainy, structured tannins coat the mouth and linger persistently, lending the wine a certain bite. Remarkably well-balanced and composed, although it will still need time to integrate its substantial tannins and oak influences." Decanter
