Tenuta di Nozzole "Nozzole" Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2015 Review

This is a good Chianti Riserva, meaning everything is right where it needs to be without going above and beyond. And that’s fine; if you are required to bring a nice Chianti to a dinner, this would be a safe bet. It has all the classic Sangiovese aromas of sour cherry, floral notes and earthy tones. The acidity is just right and the tannin well integrated, with neither being overwhelming. It won’t be a memorable wine, but will do the job.
