About this wine

A Chianti Classico Riserva named in homage to the Petri family, who owned the Vicchiomaggio estate in the second half of the 19th century. Predominantly Sangiovese with a portion of Cabernet Sauvignon, matured in second-passage barriques and large oak casks for around 18 months, then further refined in bottle.

Beginner's Note

A step up from Chianti Classico Annata — riper fruit, more structure, still approachable.

Sommelier's Note

"A Riserva that punches above its price point — ripe fruit and sweet spice with real ageing potential."

Food Pairings

Full-bodied enough for roasted red meats, game, and aged pecorino or parmesan.

When to drink it

Special dinners, roasted meat courses
