2021 San Felice Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva [WS93][V93]

"Offers cherry and plum fruit framed by earth, mineral and wild herb flavors. Poised between elegance and power, this red is beautifully balanced. Dusty tannins support the fruit on the long finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 26,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported." 

"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Grigio da San Felice is a dark, dense, rather somber wine.  Black cherry, leather, tobacco, incense and dried herbs reinforce that initial impression.  A Riserva of substance and power, the 2021 has a ton to offer.  It’s an especially fine edition of Il Grigio." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Made only from the finest Sangiovese grapes carefully selected from the estate Chianti Classico vineyards, this Reserva represents the perfect blend of the traditional and the modern. It spends some 24 months in oak, with about 20% in small barriques, and one year in the bottle. The front label bears Titian's famous portrait of a medieval knight in armor."
