Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020

Here are the tasting notes for the 2020 vintage of Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020 — a classic Tuscan Chianti Classico Riserva from one of the oldest wineries in Italy: �� Appearance Intense ruby-red colour — deeper and more concentrated than basic Chianti due to extended aging. �� Aroma (Nose) Bright red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas with hints of plum and apricot. Subtle herbal and spice notes (dried herbs, light earthiness) typical of Chianti Classico. Traces of oak-derived characters such as vanilla, tobacco and gentle spice add complexity from barrel aging. �� Palate (Taste) Medium-to-full body with a firm yet elegant structure balanced by fresh acidity — the hallmark of Chianti Classico. Palate shows ripe red fruits, savory spice and earth notes with a touch of tobacco oak. Silky tannins and good length make this Riserva both approachable now and suitable for medium-term cellaring. �� Texture & Finish The wine has a balanced and refined texture, with a persistent finish that displays fruit sweetness and spice alongside vibrant acidity. ��️ Style & Pairing A classic Chianti Classico Riserva — savory, structured and complex — that pairs wonderfully with tomato-based pasta, grilled meats, roasted game, aged cheeses or rich stews. Summary:The 2020 Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Riserva DOCG is a beautifully balanced Tuscan red with intense fruit, spice and savory depth, framed by fine tannins and vibrant acidity — an excellent expression of Chianti Classico Riserva style.
