Tasting Notes: The Chianti Classico Riserva offers an expressive bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, and violets, accented by sophisticated layers of cedar and sun-dried tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-structured, showcasing a velvety texture with firm, integrated tannins that provide a sturdy backbone to the concentrated fruit flavors. A bright, persistent freshness carries through to a long finish characterized by savory herbal notes and a hint of balsamic complexity, reflecting a classic Tuscan elegance.
Estate History: The Certosa di Belriguardo estate, located near Siena, has a storied past dating back to 1348 when it was established as a monastery by Carthusian monks. Wine production at the site was first documented in the 16th century, and the property has remained a centerpiece of regional viticulture for hundreds of years. In 2006, acclaimed Italian singer Gianna Nannini took over the 75-hectare family estate, implementing a modernization program focused on hand-harvesting and sustainable viticulture. Under her direction and the guidance of expert enologists, the winery has successfully blended its ancient monastic heritage with contemporary organic farming practices.
