In Italy, the Riserva designation isn't given lightly. Chianti DOCG Riserva wines must be aged for a minimum of 24 months before release — including a period in oak — resulting in wines of significantly greater depth, complexity, and structure than standard Chianti. Crono Chianti DOCG Riserva is a classic, traditional expression of this celebrated appellation, offering genuine quality at an accessible everyday price.

Made predominantly from Sangiovese — Tuscany's great red grape and the backbone of all serious Chianti — it opens with refined aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, and violets, layered with hints of tobacco, leather, and warm spice that reflect its time in oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied with a firm but well-integrated tannic structure, bright natural acidity — Sangiovese's calling card — and a long, savoury finish that pairs equally well with food or slowly savoured alone.

The DOCG designation is Italy's highest wine classification, guaranteeing both origin and adherence to strict production standards. Crono's Riserva is made to a traditional standard in a timeless style that has been satisfying Italian dinner tables for generations — honest, food-driven, and full of Tuscan character.

The classic Chianti pairing: Florentine T-bone steak, wild boar or venison ragu, pasta with rich meat sauces, rustic Italian sausages, wood-fired pizza, and aged Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano.
