Description
Banfi Chianti Classico Riserva 2017 comes from the Chianti region between Florence and Siena. The blend is led by Sangiovese, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Canaiolo Nero, and it is often described as quite possibly the original red blend.
The color is deep ruby-red. Aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry lead into notes of tobacco, leather, and spices. The palate is well-structured, with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish.
Twenty-four months of aging in oak barrels before bottling adds complexity, building layers of flavor and texture. Balanced acidity suits classic Italian dishes such as roasted meat, pasta with red sauce, and aged cheese, as well as grilled steak or hearty stews. 750 ml.
