Villa Cerna Chianti Classico Riserva 2016

Wine Spectator : 93 Points

(10/31/2021) Aromas and flavors of sweet, ripe cherry, raspberry and plum are the focus of this supple, harmonious and expressive red. Almond, leather, tobacco and black tea accents add depth, and this unwinds gracefully on the long finish. Best from 2023 through 2035. 2,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Wine Advocate : 91 Points

(3/11/2021) The Cecchi family has created a smooth and silky Riserva that boasts the accessible qualities of the vintage, plus the elegance we hope for. The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Cerna is a steady and firm wine with plenty of red cherry and forest berry followed by toasted almond, blue flower and tilled earth. You should pair this Riserva with a Tuscan wild-boar sauce on top of homemade pappardelle. Drink Date: 2021 - 2027.
