The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva shows quite a bit of warmth and spiciness in its dark red fruit. This is an attractive, mid-weight Chianti but the vintage doesn’t seem to have produced fruit with enough depth to stand up to the French oak, which overpowers the wine and contributes to the dry tannins. Overall, I expected more from the 2007 Riserva. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Volpaia is a fortified, self contained medieval village located in this hills of Radda. This beautiful property is worth a visit for its history alone. The facilities are literally bursting at the seams with modern oenological equipment that pushes the boundaries of what these centuries-old structures can accommodate. Given the cramped quarters, it is a small miracle wines of this level are made here at all. Readers will find Volpaia’s under $25 wines reviewed in Issue 190.
