Cignozza Chianti Riserva DOCG is the upper tier from La Cignozza, Tuscany's small kosher footprint, and the family bottles it only in vintages it considers worth holding. Selected Sangiovese and longer aging bring out the structured, savory side of Chianti, with sour cherry, dried herb, tobacco, and a real tannic backbone.

Mood: Riserva-tier, tablecloth, steak night.

Our sommelier says

Pizza night is for the base Chianti. The Riserva is for the nights you have actually fired up the grill. With longer aging, tighter tannins, and more savory depth, it can sit beside a serious cut of beef and not back down.

Tasting notes

The nose gives sour cherry, dried herb, and tobacco leaf, with a whiff of leather and forest floor. It is medium-to-full bodied, with firm, grippy tannins and savory dark fruit through the mid-palate. The finish is long and savory. Decant it for 45 to 60 minutes. Another 3 to 5 years in the cellar will be rewarded.

Food pairing

Serve with bistecca alla fiorentina, osso buco, lamb shank, aged hard cheeses, a Sunday rib roast, or mushroom-and-truffle pasta.
