Castello di Radda 2006 Poggio Selvale Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Online Exclusive

There’s a nice balance here between red fruit and cherries with spice and tobacco. In the background, you’ll pick up subtle shadings of green leaf or dried mint with smoky mineral notes on the close. The mouthfeel is dry and textured. Only 250 cases made. — M.L. (6/1/2009)

Castello di Radda 2004 Riserva Selvale Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Here’s a sweet-smelling, very vanilla-based Riserva that has evidently benefited from a sophisticated oak aging regimen to shape a round, soft, modern wine. Its ruby color is bright and luminous and those oaky flavors return on the palate, somewhat eclipsing the fresh berry fruit you would otherwise expect to find here. — M.L. (9/1/2008)
