Riseccoli 1997 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  1. $26
Quite full and very New World in style, this is a fruit and oak-loaded wine with a creamy texture. Plum, vanilla, cocoa and cedar work in harmony on the nose and palate to create a supple, elegant impression. Finishes long and very dark, with fine but firm tannins and black chocolate and espresso notes. Very approachable, but has the structure to last as well.  — W.E.  (4/1/2001)

Riseccoli 1998 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  1. $18
Black cherry, cocoa and toast mark the nose of this very dark and refined wine. The supple, appealing mouthfeel displays a similar flavor profile, and it closes with smooth tannins, tart black fruits and an espresso note. This example of new-wave Chianti is done with style and even a sensuous note.  — W.E.  (4/1/2001)
