Lornano Le Bandite Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017 - 11.11 Deal

We’ve been importing a couple of wines from Tuscan producer Lornano for a few years now. All the buzz from our Mofos made us realise it was time to expand the range. This is Chianti Classico Riserva of the highest order. 100% sangiovese sourced from a vineyard at 330 metres over shale and alluvial soil. After fermentation, it sees about 20 months in French oak, which adds a cedary backdrop to the wine. This is more of a complement to the fruit rather than an overt presence thankfully, as the wine is wonderfully in balance. You’ll find black cherry, plum, licorice, earthen notes and even hints of balsam in the wine. The tannins are velvety and lead into a long mineral-laden finish. Keep the hits coming, Lornano.
