The Definition range brings the world's greatest wine styles to Majestic customers. Amid the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, Angiolo Piccini founded his small winery in 1882. More than a century later Piccini Wines have grown substantially and carved out a prestigious place in the Italian vinous scene. Their first-class Chianti Classico Riserva was a natural addition to our Definition collection – it shows off all that’s great about the typical Tuscan red wine. An intense ruby hue opens to elegant expressions of blackberry and raspberry fruit in both aroma and flavour. Ripe and balanced, with a velvety tannic structure and a blend of savoury and spicy notes, it’s an ideal match for grilled or roasted meats.

found this a little thin with little of the characteristics of good chianti. Initially was quite prepared to be impressed but as it went down there was a bit of nothingness. From other reviews will try again after 24 hours to see if it improves

The original Definition Chianti Classico was our go to Chianti, with all the fruity characteristics you’d expect in a medium bodied Tuscan wine. This Riserva is a poor comparison to the previous simpler version.

This wine really benefits from decanting. When I initially opened it the wine was unforgiving, tannic and had no fruit. I put the bottle aside for 24 hours and tried it again the next day and it was a totally different wine and actually very good indeed.

Tesco sell the same piccini collaboration for £8.99. It’s a good but not great wine…. Medium body, some tanins with a bit of spice!! It’s a ‘ok’ wine in front of a movie at home, but nothing special for a dinner party.

This is the best chianti I have ever had. I have ordered it several times and always share it with friends with an authentic Italian meal.

I hoped that the second bottle would be better. It wasn't. This had nothing, apart from a sharp taste
