Carobbio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2016 Review
The hamlet of Panzano in Chianti Classico is the most celebrated growing site in the area. The soil and microclimate are major factors in the full-bodied structure of the Sangiovese here, and the wines do very well with some age. This wine is from 2016 and is aging almost perfectly. The nose is earthy with leathery cherry vibes. The tannins are fading into the wine, leaving a grippy yet lithe palate with medium fruit. The finish lingers and lingers.
