Sourced from a tiny parcel of old Sangiovese wines within Chiara’s property, the Le Lucciole Riserva leaves an extraordinarily elegant and refined impression for a region so commonly associated with serviceable yet simplistic wines. Here you’ll find a remarkably fresh and cool-toned expression of Sangio, displaying dusty ripe cherry, smoke and sweet red florals, grounded by a hint of animal muskiness. On the palate, textures of pure silk release tart cherries brought to life by vibrant acidity, as saline-minerals saturate the palate and hints of fine tannin add balance. The finish is long, displaying mineral-laden bright red fruits, kept in motion by a lingering sense of verve, while hints of fine tannin persist in this classically structured Sangiovese. This gal is truly one to watch!
