Lucarello Chianti Classico Riserva
The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01A deep ruby red, hinting at its Tuscan sun and Sangiovese soul, this Chianti Classico Riserva presents a compelling bouquet of ripe cherry, wild violet, and a subtle whisper of pipe tobacco and balsamic. The nose is captivatingly complex, revealing layers of earthy undertones and a touch of dried herb that speaks of its careful aging.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, a vibrant acidity dances with firm, well-integrated tannins, delivering flavors of black plum, leather, and a delightful savory minerality that lingers long. The finish is impressively sustained, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and a refined, almost silky texture that coats the tongue. This wine is a perfect companion for classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu over pappardelle, or a hearty lamb stew. It also excels alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet elegant plate of cured meats and olives.
