The Viticcio 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is another wine that portrays the crispness and brightness of this vintage with ease. This cool growing season is known for the sharpness and clean linearity of its fruit, with firm structure and good freshness. You get all these qualities here alongside plenty of cherry, blackcurrant and easy spice. Get your Tuscan on here and whip up a pappardelle all'aretino with a slow-cooked meat sauce.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is a dark, powerful wine. Black cherry, cloves, licorice, menthol and chocolate bring out darker tonalities of Sangiovese. This is an especially brooding, potent Riserva. I would cellar it for at least a few years.
