The Cecchi family has created a smooth and silky Riserva that boasts the accessible qualities of the vintage, plus the elegance we hope for. The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Cerna is a steady and firm wine with plenty of red cherry and forest berry followed by toasted almond, blue flower and tilled earth. You should pair this Riserva with a Tuscan wild-boar sauce on top of homemade pappardelle.
