The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva is another outstanding effort from Tenuta la Novella. It opens with lovely aromas of ripe blackberries and cherries followed by spices, tobacco and hints of floral notes. Full-bodied and plush with well-integrated tannins and a polished finish that leaves behing a mouthful of juicy dark fruits lingering. Everything seems to be working here.
