2018 Villa Trasqua Chianti Classico Riserva  750ML 95pts Suckling

Between Siena and Monteriggioni is the historic estate of Villa Trasqua surrounded by 120 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and forests. The winery brings a very long winemaking tradition, traceable even to the year 1001. Franco Bernabei “Mr. Sangiovese” is the oenological consultant of the winery. With his enthusiasm for the Sangiovese grape variety, he led Villa Trasqua to new oenological heights.

An elegant Chianti Classico with intense aromas of red berries, cherries and fine spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that results in a long, harmonious finish. 93pts Suckling
The wine is dynamic and fresh with fine tannins that strengthen and lengthen the sip, without weighting down the structure. Intense and complex. Medium weight- body, well structured and balanced. Bernabei at his absolute finest. A great expression of Sangiovese, red berry fruit, power and finesse, perfect amount of acidity and oak making it a great match with food.
