“Levigne” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019 (BIO)
Istine | Tuscany
Istine s.s.a. | Via Roma 11 | IT 53017 Radda in Chianti
The grapes for Istine's cult Riserva come exclusively from the estate's own vineyards Istine (Radda), Casanova dell'Aia (Radda) and Cavarchione (Gaiole). Only 4,000 bottles of this breathtaking wine, which matures for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, are bottled each year.
Rich, bright ruby red with a sparkling centre. The bouquet is complex with aristocratic restraint. Compact and freshly fruity nose of rich cherries and ripe raspberries, with amarena cherries and notes of tobacco in the background. Medium-bodied on the palate, but with infinite, captivating depth that awaits discovery. Spreads out beautifully in the body, appears downright juicy and fruit-emphasised and continues to open up towards its terrific finalwith crunchy cherries and a refined saline vein. Purists will love its linear and unmistakable Sangiovese character. SUPERIORE.DE
"A vertical and lively wine that offers everything from fresh fruit with mineral flavour, power and fine acidity to elegance and a round finish." Weinwisser
"Austere, this red features tar, iron and wild herb notes swirling around a core of black cherry and blackberry fruit. Linear in profile, with bracing acidity and firm yet refined tannins." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne 2019 is a powerful, dense wine. As always, the Riserva is the most concentrated and strongest of the Chianti Classicos. It is certainly a great Riserva." Vinous
"From the vineyards of Istine and Casanova dell'Aia, a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes for the Fronti family's flagship product. Notes of cranberry on the nose, then nutmeg and hints of pepper leaf. On the palate, savoury, salty tannins, fruity and noble notes and beautiful length on the palate." Luca Gardini
