Charming and fruity, this '15 Chianti Riserva puts its lush cherries and brambly berries in the spotlight, framing them with baking spices, warm earth, violet petals, and new leather. Round yet sprightly, this wine fills the mouth with a sweet inner perfume as a thrumming iron-ore bass line moves it to a brisk, food-friendly finish. Named after the red earth of its vineyards, this Chianti Riserva is an ideal Tuesday-night wine. After being hand-picked, Sangiovese grapes ferment with selected yeasts for about two weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel; the wine ages for 18 months in botti, followed by at least four months of bottle rest before release.

Montagnola Senese, a subregion of Chianti located about ten miles west of Siena, is home to unique soils--a red, chalky clay that's high in iron and much prized by vine-growers. The vineyards of Tenuta Trecciano spread across fifty acres of this coveted ground; here, the Trecciano estate grows Sangiovese, as well as Bordeaux grape varietals, taking adventive of the mineral-laden soils in its terroir-driven Chianti and Super-Tuscan bottlings. Trecciano's winemakers are mindful to tailor each wine's protocol to best suit its grapes and its flavor profile, using steel vats or botti for aging its Vermentino and Chianti, while employing barriques to age its Super Tuscans. The resulting wines are deeply enjoyable, pure, and thrilling evocations of the estate's lands and Chianti's ever-evolving history.
