Riserva

The origins of this small, traditional estate date back to the second half of the 18th century, when it was named Fattoria Ricceri after its owners. In 1899 it was sold to Bandino Bandini, hence the name of this wine. Today his descendants run the estate. Lying at the confluence of the communes of Castellina in Chianti and Castelnuovo Berardenga, the estate includes only 5ha of vineyards. The best grapes are used to make the Bandini Riserva, which is 100% Sangiovese and spends 20 months in 500-litre oak tonneaux.

Susan Hulme MW: Quite rich and powerful, a little more international in style. Sweet-fruited and herbal, it's a good example that will appeal to many.  

Andrew Jefford: Rich, sweet and warm yet understated, it has welcome notes of truffle and mushroom which add complexity, partnered with magnificent tannins and an expressive warmth of fruit. One to store away and feast on sometime in the next decade.  

Monty Waldin: Rich plum fruit embossed by a sheen of new oak. Plenty to get your teeth into here.
