SER LAPO CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA DOCG
YEAR'S BEST CHIANTI CLASSICO; Flavors of cherry, licorice and spice take on savory notes as this wine sits in the glass. The fruit (sangiovese with ten percent unnamed varieties) comes from the Fonterutoli estate in Castellina in Chianti, and the wine aged for one year in French oak barriques and tonneaux, half of which were new. Its dark and meaty flavors are a match for pasta in a rich ragù. - S.J.
