Palazzo Vecchio 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, $16.99-$39.99, 91 points, poured a light cranberry red with orange highlights, with clear sticky narrow legs, and a bright wine ring.
Very aromatic mulling spices were nuanced with floral herbal tea, black tea, and brandy, but I couldn't sense any fruit (not a negative for me).
This Chianti Classico Riserva was typically medium-bodied, showed good acidity, fine grainy tannins, and warm spiciness, however the dominant flavor was brandy-like with just a hint of funk.
Finished long on citrus, pepper spice, and a eucalyptus note with a balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired fine with Amy's Margherita pizza.
