Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 2019

Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 is a Sangiovese-dominant organic Tuscan red wine that combines the wild, savory earthiness of a high-altitude Gaiole terroir with brilliant structural freshness and traditional depth: on the nose it shows tart red cranberry, wild blackberry, and sour black cherry layered with dried tobacco leaf, ground cloves, leather, and subtle forest floor; the palate is firm yet linear, with flavours of red currant, dark plum, and bergamot supported by notes of savory anise, iron-like minerality, and gentle baking spice, sometimes edging into riper hints of black raspberry, while finely grained, chalky tannins and a persistent, vivid acidity keep it vibrant and focused; the finish is long, dry, and rustic, lingering on red-berry coulis, crushed rock, and a clean, smoky balsamic complexity.
