Banfi, Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG (Italy) 2011

Jun 4, 2015

By Rich Cook

It’s always great to find a wine that is readily available at a great price that delivers this kind of quality.  One whiff puts you in the Tuscan hill country and invites you to stay with fresh dry cherry fruit, sage, fennel and faint dried herbs — a wonderful accompaniment to classic central Italian  cooking.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
