La Maialina Chianti Classico Riserva

La Maialina Chianti Classico Riserva is a superb expression of Italy's most prestigious Chianti zone from La Maialina estate — a celebrated producer in the Chianti Classico DOCG, the historic heartland of Tuscan wine between Florence and Siena. Crafted from estate-grown Sangiovese vines with a small percentage of traditional Tuscan complementary varieties, this Riserva is aged for a minimum of 24 months — including time in both Slovenian oak and French barriques — developing depth, complexity, and exceptional aging potential. The wine presents a classic garnet color with a beguiling bouquet of ripe morello cherry, dried violet, tobacco leaf, cedar, and earthy Tuscan terroir. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured with firm, fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a beautifully persistent finish of great elegance and refinement.
