Casavecchia alla Piazza di Gabriele Buondonno, Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 Ojai Vineyards and some bottle aging willA much more serious proposition than the regular Chianti. It is made out of the best grapes from low yielding, stony vineyards planted in the 1970s; the fruit is dark and dense, the tannins fine and chocolatey. It has balance and energy, and a little new wood adds to the complex spice notes on the very long finish.
