This Istine Le Vigne Chianti Classico Riserva 2019, crafted from Sangiovese, presents a complex aromatic profile of ripe red cherries, tart cranberries, and plums, interwoven with savory notes of dried herbs, tobacco leaf, and earthy undertones. Hints of violet, cedar, and subtle spice from oak aging add further depth. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity that provides freshness and lift. Firm, yet well-integrated tannins frame the fruit and savory characteristics, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by minerality and a touch of balsamic. The Riserva designation indicates extended aging, contributing to its depth and structure.
