San Giorgio A Lapi Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva is an intense ruby/garnet red. The nose is redolent of ripe cherries, blueberries, dark spice, tobacco and liquorice with a gentle herbaceous note of Tuscan hillsides. The palate is full and complex, with elegant tannins balancing the lively acidity that gives it freshness. The long, bright finish leaves you with fresh cherry, tobacco, cedar and leather notes. Refined and well structured, classic Chianti in every sense. It will age gracefully over the coming decade but is delicious for drinking right now!

A blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino, this San Giorgio A Lapi Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva is fermented in stainless steel before being transferred into oak for maturation. It spends 24 months in a combination of larger (10 hectolitres) old oak barrels and smaller, newer oak barriques (225 litres) before bottling.
