Product Overview
95 Points - Wine Spectator
"This expressive red features cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and orange peel aromas and flavors. Mineral and wild herb accents add depth as this cruises to the long finish, offering terrific balance and length. Though impressive now, this should evolve nicely. Best from 2026 through 2042. 5,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported." -BS, 10/31/24

"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is fabulous. Vibrant and translucent in the glass, it offers so much pedigree. Dark cherry, leather, licorice, tobacco and lavender are some of the many nuances that open in the glass. Readers will find a deceptively mid-weight Riserva endowed with notable poise." -AG, Jun/2024

"In the bottle with the black label, the Volpaia 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Volpaia (made with certified organic fruit) shows impeccable balance with fresh acidity and lots of bright primary fruit, cherry and blackcurrant. The tannins are powdery and give enough structure to cement a pleasant sense of firmness. In all, the wine is very true to Sangiovese. Production is 60,000 bottles." -ML, 7/25/24

"The nose is a heady swirl of wild strawberry, raspberry jam, hibiscus and blood orange, while the palate is balanced between ripe, fresh raspberries and a damp, peppery earthiness. A cool salinity on the finish emphasizes polished tannins and the slick mouthfeel." -DC, 12/1/25
