From the heart of Tuscany, comes this beautiful Chianti Classico Riserva from one of the top names in Italian wine: Villa Cafaggio. Their elegant Chianti place them firmly among the top handful of Italian wine producers, with the best vintages of their top Riservas often approaching Brunello di Montalcino in terms of complexity and potential. In fact, their 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva was voted Italian Wine of the Year from The Wine Enthusiast! Produced only in exceptional vintages and sourced exclusively from south facing vineyards, this Chianti Classico Riserva Basilica San Martino is aged 30 months in French barrique , then held in bottle another 6-12 months before release. One of the most beautiful wines of Tuscany, we're very excited about the $24.99 price!

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Basilica San Martino is living a beautiful moment in its evolution. This classic vintage shows elegant primary tones, but it also offers complexity in the form of licorice, earth, forest floor and dried rose. Fruit comes from Panzano in Chianti, probably the most beautiful spot in Tuscany especially as far as sunsets are measured. The wine is silky and streamlined throughout."
