I Sodi del Paretaio Chianti – DOCG Riserva
In the annata, or standard version, Sangiovese (85%) is complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah; the blend ferments in steel, then matures 10 months in concrete vats. The all-Sangiovese Riserva spends 18 months in 44hl French oak ovals and a brief period in concrete vats, and the result is a Chianti boasting ripe, glossy tannins.
