Istine Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne 2017

97 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous
95 POINTS: Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

“The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne is another positively stunning wine in this range. Ample and explosive in the glass, with tremendous resonance, the 2017 is off the charts gorgeous. To be sure, the Riserva is a big, rich wine, but it also offers plenty of Sangiovese character to please purists. Macerated dark cherry, spice, leather, menthol and a whole range of balsamic inflections fill out the layers in a dramatic, towering Chianti Classico Riserva. In a word: stunning."

“Enticing aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit, iris, new leather and camphor lead the nose. It's smooth, structured and has great energy for such a hot vintage, offering flavors of dried cherry, raspberry compote, blood orange and tobacco set against taut refined tannins. Drink 2022–2027.”
