Tenuta Larnianone, Larniano, Chianti Riserva DOCG, 2020

Tenuta Larnianone’s Larniano Chianti Riserva DOCG is a historic, small-production Chianti from a single hectare vineyard planted in 1972 overlooking the hills of Siena. Made primarily from Sangiovese with small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo, the wine comes from naturally low-yielding vines that produce remarkable concentration and character. Aged 18 months in Hungarian oak, it opens with classic aromas of cherry, violet, and wild berries, layered with subtle spice and savory Tuscan herbs. The palate is structured yet elegant, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and a long mineral finish. Production is extremely limited—only about 200 cases are made each year, and just 20 cases were imported for Pennsylvania and Washington DC, making this a rare opportunity to experience a truly boutique Chianti Riserva.
