Description and technical sheet
A fine Chianti Classico Riserva lets time in oak bring depth without obscuring the fruit. Banfi’s 2023 vintage achieves that balance through a Sangiovese-led blend, layering ripe berry character with a measured savoury complexity.
Sangiovese and a distinctive growing season
Sangiovese accounts for 85–90% of the blend, complemented by traditional Chianti Classico varieties. A particularly wet late spring gave way to a sunny, warm and breezy end to the growing season. Following temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the wine spends around 12 months in 60- and 90-hl French-oak casks, then at least three months in bottle.
Dark fruit, spice and a polished finish
Mauve-red in colour, the bouquet combines plum and blackberry preserves with liquorice, vanilla and leather. The palate is well structured, with supple, balanced tannins and a long, savoury finish. The 2023 vintage earned 92 points from James Suckling.
Serve at 16–18°C with Tuscan favourites such as meat-filled tortelli or peposo, as well as slow-braised meats.
