Istine Description
96 points Kerin O'Keefe
"Smooth and delicious, the beautiful 2019 Istine Chianti Classico Le Vigne Riserva has lovely aromas of camphor, violet, forest floor, red berry and aromatic herb. Elegant and savory, the focused palate offers juicy red cherry, star anise, blood orange and saline notes alongside taut, refined tannins. Bright acidity lends energy and impeccable balance. Drink 2025–2039." - KO
Decanter: 95 Points
"Levigne Riserva is a cask selection of the three vineyards made after maturation, at which point Angela decides which to bottle as the three single-vineyard wines and which to hold back for blending and further ageing of 12 months in 30hl casks. Balsamic freshness allied to cherry and spice aromas usher in a concentrated mouthful of sapid, saline pomegranate and cherry, alongside notes of tobacco and wood. Structural tannins give this the legs to age gracefully. Drink 2023-2036." - James Button
Jeb Dunnuck: 94+ Points
"Sourced from the best fruit across their vineyard parcels, the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Vigne is compelling and attractive, with toasted cedar, cherry liqueur, and red flowers. It has a compact and medium structure, with energetic tension propelling the wine forward with a linear feel and crunchy salinity. A bit wound up, it will benefit from cellaring a few years before drinking 2025-2040."
