TASTING NOTES: 

The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna Barbischio is a gorgeous, aromatic wine that captures all the cool-toned, savory character of this hillside mountain site. Crushed flowers, herbs, red berry fruit, mint, orange peel and spice are all beautifully lifted in this classy, mid-weight offering from Maurizio Alongi. All the Barbischio needs is a year or two in bottle.
