$35(no S/H) The "Riserva" classification is the highest given to a Chianti Classico. These wines must be aged for longer periods and have a natural alcohol content over 12.5% Pierluigi has taken this 100% Sangiovese and aged it for 24 months in oak barrels. The wine was then aged a further 12 months in bottle for final 'rounding' of the wine. It is powerful and rich with a scent of violets and ripe fruit and is ready to drink now due to the intense summer heat during 2003. This is a DOCG appellation that bears the "Gallo Nero" seal of the Chianti Consortium.
