Ormanni Chianti Clas. Riserva Borro del Diavolo'18

Tuscany, Italy.....
Rated 93 by Vinous Media (2017 vintage)
. The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Borro del Diavolo is rich and generous in the glass, which is to say very much in the style of the year. Sweet red cherry, orange peel, spice, leather, tobacco, cedar and dried flowers all meld together nicely. There are some elements of rusticity, but they are tempered by the open-knit style of the year.
Borro del Diavolo is a brook, called “borro” in Tuscany, and it gives its name to the vineyard producing grapes for this Reserve. The best Sangiovese grapes are selected in the first ten days of October from the Borro del Diavolo vineyard and from the close Montignano vineyard, both situated on the same stony ridge facing South.
