title: Piccini 1997 Riserva  (Chianti Classico)
description: The red cherry fruit bears some mushroom notes among the cedar and clove accents, and there's a sense of hollowing-out that should not be evidenced at this age. It's light, showing some nice berry and spice flavors and a sweet woodiness. But it's too developed now for a 1997 riserva.
variety: Sangiovese
designation: Riserva
