Tenuta Casabianca 2021 Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva DOCG

Tasting Notes

The Tenuta Casabianca 2021 Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva DOCG opens with a deep ruby hue touched by subtle garnet reflections, signaling both youthful vibrancy and early development. Its nose is characteristic and intense, layering ripe red and black fruits with well-integrated vanilla from oak aging, a profile consistently noted across producer and retailer descriptions. The fruit—typically cherry, plum, and hints of forest berries—is balanced by warm spice and a gentle wood sweetness, creating an aromatic profile that is expressive without being heavy. On the palate, the wine is round and structured, showing the classic Sangiovese-driven interplay of fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. Its balance of softness and firmness, highlighted in multiple tasting summaries, gives it both approachability and the backbone expected of a Riserva-level Chianti. The finish is clean, persistent, and savory, with enough grip to complement hearty dishes.
This Riserva pairs beautifully with traditional Tuscan fare—think bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino—but its bright acidity and polished tannins also make it a natural partner for tomato-based dishes, roasted vegetables, and herb-driven preparations. Retailers specifically note its affinity for tomato-rich cuisine and even more aromatic combinations such as Chinese eggplant with sweet onion, olive oil, oregano, pepper, and cinnamon, thanks to its freshness and versatility.
