"The estate owned by Roberto Bianchi is not only one of the most intriguing wineries in Chianti Classico, but is also one of the most convincing wineries in the Radda in Chianti sub-area. The wines have an unmistakable style: clear, essential and without hesitation. It is difficult to find an interpretation of Sangiovese so consistent and capable of projecting with such force this range of the Black Rooster among the most significant places in Enoic Italy. They are red of great pleasure but, at the same time, of articulated and never banal declination, even in the most immediate expressions." - Gambero Rosso"The Riserva is only made in exceptionally good years with the best Sangiovese selected from the estate’s oldest vineyards so in this sense we might well describe the Riserva as our “Grand Cru”. Like our other wines, the Riserva has great ageing potential, improving considerably over the years to express the quintessential features of Chianti-grown Sangiovese: minerality, fresh fruit and outstanding elegance.."
