About Bonacchi Chianti Riserva 2021 750ML
The Bonacchi Chianti Riserva 2021 opens with an inviting garnet hue and a complex bouquet that speaks clearly of its Tuscan origins. On the nose, ripe sour cherry and dried plum mingle with violet florals and a subtle iron-like minerality. The extended aging lends a gentle cedar and dried herb character. On the palate, this Sangiovese-driven wine delivers vibrant acidity and firm but well-integrated tannins, with flavors of morello cherry, pomegranate, and a hint of sun-dried tomato. The oak aging adds a pleasing layer of vanilla and toasted spice without overwhelming the wine's natural freshness. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of espresso, dried rosemary, and a characteristic Chianti bitterness that invites another sip.
