Rocca Delle Macìe Chianti Riserva Tinto

Description

This Chianti Riserva from Rocca delle Macìe is a bold statement – a deliberate layering of Sangiovese, bolstered by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, promising an experience that unfolds rapidly. The deep ruby colour hints at this swift evolution, characteristic of the grape. On the palate, it bursts with ripe cherry and autumnal woodland notes, a subtle touch of thyme expertly highlighted by the producer. The acidity is remarkably balanced, the tannins are vibrant and silky, and the finish… well, it’s impressively long and saline, a quality the British might describe as “savoury.” Absolutely ideal with a good piece of Iberian pork – a match made in wine heaven.
