Chianti Classico Riserva 2007 - 92 points (Half-Case)
This product is not currently available.
92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Why to buy: This is a wine with serious buzz. In 2011, The Wine Advocate called it their “most exciting discovery in Tuscany so far this year,” and it promptly became impossible to procure. Here’s why: Flavor for flavor and dollar for dollar, this wine offers tremendous value, especially when you compare it to the other Chianti in its category; and, it’s lush, complex style epitomizes Tuscany’s 2007 vintage, which wine collectors know is a vintage to remember.
Nose, palate and pairing: The nose has layers of black cherries, roses and pepper and the palate is super lush with black raspberry and round tannins. Soft and seductive, try this wine with slow-cooked meats, wood-fired pizzas, and salty charcuterie and cheese.
Varietals: 100% Sangiovese
Alcohol: 13.5%
Appellation: Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva

La Maialina
This family owned estate put Gavi back on the map after a rigorous overhaul which involved drastically reducing their yields, hiring Piemonte specialist Beppe Caviola as consulting oenologist and renovating their cellar. Today they are recognized as the preeminent Gavi producer with a stunning hotel and restaurant.
