The 2011 Cecchi Riserva di Famiglia is a classic example of Chianti Classico. It offers aromas dark cherries, raspberries, stewed plums, dark roasted coffee, spices and earthy notes. Well balanced, leaning more towards the full side with a silky texture and plush fruit. This is a solid bottling from the Cecchi Family, which most should enjoy. The 90% Sangiovese is blended with 10% local varieties and spends 12 months in oak barrels prior to being bottled 18 months after harvest. (Best 2015-2025) - July, 2015 (MD)
