• Wine Spectator 93pt Chianti Classico Riserva for $24.99!
The 2006 Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva was one of the featured wines in the Wine Spectator's recent article on "Tuscany's Winning Wines" with a rating of 93 points.
This article highlights the amazing quality of the 2006 Tuscan wines. James Suckling put special emphasis on the quality of '06 riservas, saying, "I especially like the 2006 riservas. Some producers obviously take the riserva category seriously, bottling a selection of their best wines or focusing on a top vineyard and then aging the wine an extra year before release."
"Here are just a few of the 2006 Chianti Classico riservas to look for: the Castello di Querceto Il Picchio (94, $55), the Casaloste Don Vincenzo (93, $70), the Casalvento (93, $29), the Castello di Bossi Berardo (93, $41), the Castello di Volpaia Coltassala (93, $54) and the Viticcio (93, $32). "
The Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2009 list just came out, and the Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva got listed at #35!

The estate’s 2006 Chianti Classico Riserva is a rich sensual wine bursting with sour dark cherries, French oak, new leather and flowers. As it sits in the glass the wine’s inner perfume emerges with even greater clarity, melding beautifully into the soft, creamy finish. This is a terrific effort from Viticcio. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.

Fabulous aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate, with supersilky tannins and amazing richness and subtlety. Goes on for minutes on the palate. Best from 2010 through 2015. 2,345 cases made.–JS |
