Enticingly fragrant, this radiant red opens with alluring aromas of iris, perfumed berry, eucalyptus and underbrush. Racy and loaded with youthful tension, the linear palate delivers crushed raspberry, morello cherry, blood orange and licorice while tight, refined tannins and vibrant acidity provide the framework. Drink 2022-2033.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Vigna Istine is fabulous. Dark cherry, spice, leather and tobacco are some of the many notes that flesh out in the glass. The 2018 is distinguished by its creamy personality and breadth. Readers will find a striking Chianti Classico that embodies all of the energy and translucence of Radda.

Cherry pie, strawberry preserves and floral aromas and flavors highlight this graceful red, which is harmonious and delicious now, yet should develop over the next decade or so. Fine length. Drink now through 2035.
