San Felice Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva

A 14% alcohol 100% sangiovese chianti classico aged 24 months in a mix of 80% large (600-900 liter) slovenian oak casks and 20% standard (225 liter) french oak barriques and a further 6 months in the bottle before release. Red in color with well-formed legs; dry medium-plus body with medium phenolics. Masculine perfume of red cherry and berry fruit with cedar black pepper and spice. Fits the classic chianti niche to go with higher-end pizza pastas with red sauces (especially in the italian-american style) lasagna and even grilled meats dressed with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Bear score: 92. One of the best chianti classico riserva’s for the money.
