"The 2020 Chianti Riserva Castelrotto is a potent, heady wine. Dark plum, spice, leather, tobacco and earthy notes lend notable presence. A wine of authority and substance, the Riserva has much to recommend it. I would open it well in advance. As is often the case, the Riserva is a bit burlier than the straight Chianti, especially in its tannin profile."
