Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Aromas of French oak, scorched earth, camphor and baked plum shape the nose. The concentrated palate offers steeped prune, dried cherry, vanilla and roasted coffee bean alongside close-grained tannins that grip the close. Drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining fruit and freshness.

A Chianti Classico Riserva made with Sangiovese grapes, produced in a single vineyard of 2 hectares worked and fertilized with geese. These creatures naturally fertilize the land, they eat the grass between the rows and the insects harmful to the vine, acting as natural protectors for the soil. Vignalparco Riserva is strong personality wine with good structure, freshness, soft tannins and excellent persistence. Aged 2 years in 500 liter barrels it has an intense ruby red color with purple reflections.
