This California version of a Chianti Classico Riserva is redolent of ripe cherry and plum fruit, with subtle hints of Asian spices and a toasty, vanilla tone from oak aging. The deep, compact flavors are supported by firm but supple tannins and fine acidity. This wine beautifully complements traditional Tuscan specialties such as grilled chicken, veal scallopini, pasta with truffles, and beef Florentine.
