Radda in Chianti. 100% Sangiovese. Certified organic. Mid ruby. Concentrated balsamic, savoury cherry nose with a hint of tobacco leaf. Opens up with aeration. Profound cherry fruit with powdery tannins. Powerfully structured and almost a little tart on the end and with subtle raspberry finish. (WS)

The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne is another positively stunning wine in this range. Ample and explosive in the glass, with tremendous resonance, the 2017 is off the charts gorgeous. To be sure, the Riserva is a big, rich wine, but it also offers plenty of Sangiovese character to please purists. Macerated dark cherry, spice, leather, menthol and a whole range of balsamic inflections fill out the layers in a dramatic, towering Chianti Classico Riserva. In a word: stunning.
