Description

An icon of Tuscany, the Rancia Riserva 2019 is a profound and disciplined expression of Sangiovese grown in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Named after a former Benedictine monastery, the vineyard is now one of the most revered sites in Chianti Classico, delivering wines of noble structure and unmistakable terroir.

The 2019 vintage opens with ripe red fruit, tobacco leaf, dried herbs and fine spice, offering both depth and energy. On the palate, it is concentrated yet fresh, with vivid acidity and finely woven tannins. Balance, verticality, and tension define this wine — a benchmark Riserva with remarkable aging potential.
