Bottle photo: Badia a Coltibuono

The 2022 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva, made entirely from Sangiovese and aged 18 months in large neutral barrels, shows a bright ruby-cherry core with a pale pink rim. White pepper, dried rose, crushed underripe strawberry, and dried orange zest come first, followed on the palate by tangerine peel and tart pomegranate seeds. Dusty tannins and moderate-plus acidity shape the medium body, giving it a firm, savory finish.
