The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva di Famiglia (90% Sangiovese with other red grapes aged in botti for 12 months), is a plump and rich red wine with lots of primary fruit intensity. This warm-vintage expression delivers thick layers of black cherry, dried blackberry, spice and cured tobacco. The tannins are soft and yielding. The ripeness is almost too much of a good thing. The wine reveals a very accessible and immediate personality. Some 60,000 bottles were made.
