94 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"Sweet berry and cherry aromas show nicely here. Full-bodied with soft, focused tannins that show brightness and finesse. Lots of black-cherry, cedar and spice flavors on the finish. Complex. Drink or hold."

93 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous	"The 2016 Chianti Classico Gherardino is a bit compact at first, but, like many of these wines, it fleshes out beautifully with air. Black cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, licorice, spice and leather emerge with a bit of coaxing. I would cellar the 2016 for at least a few years. There is a lot of wine here. It would be a shame to miss it."
93 Pts Wine Spectator	"Fresh cherry, black currant, leather, almond and iron aromas and flavors are beautifully allied to the well-integrated structure and vibrant frame of this complex, harmonious red. Firm and long, with a lasting impression of sweet, ripe fruit. Best from 2021 through 2040. 3,333 cases made, 400 cases imported. â BS"

Description:

"Chianti Classico Riserva âGherardinoâ is dedicated to the Gherardinis, the noble Tuscan family that founded Vignamaggio in the 1300âs.

Gherardino is Vignamaggioâs Riserva bottling, which is the middle tier of the new Chianti classification pyramid, requiring a minimum of 24 months of ageing (between wood and bottle). Gherardino is a blend of 80-90% Sangiovese with the inclusion of 10-20% Merlot which adds volume and richness. The vines are between 20 and 30 years old. The sangiovese component of Gherardino ages in 15-20hl oak barrels for 18-20 months, while the merlot ages in 225lt French barriques. Once blended, the wine rests in bottle for additional 6 months.

Chianti Classico Riserva Gherardino is rich, enveloping and textured to the core. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco and spices flesh out on the racy finish. Enjoy with savory first courses, red meat and seasoned cheese." - Importer
