Rollover To Zoom
Cignozza Chianti Riserva DOCG is the upper tier from La Cignozza — Tuscany's small kosher footprint — bottled only in vintages the family considers worth holding. Selected Sangiovese with longer aging delivers the structured, savory side of Chianti: sour cherry, dried herb, tobacco, real tannic backbone.
Mood: Riserva-tier, tablecloth, steak night.
Our sommelier says
The base Chianti is for pizza night. The Riserva is for when you've actually fired up the grill. Longer aging, tighter tannins, more savory depth — it can sit next to a serious cut of beef and not back down.
Tasting notes
Sour cherry, dried herb, tobacco leaf, a whiff of leather and forest floor. Medium-to-full bodied with firm, grippy tannins and savory dark fruit through the mid-palate. Long, savory finish. Decant 45 to 60 minutes; will reward another 3 to 5 years in the cellar.
Food pairing
Bistecca alla fiorentina, osso buco, lamb shank, aged hard cheeses, Sunday rib roast, mushroom-and-truffle pasta.
