Tanım

Italian designation for wines aged longer than standard requirements.

Derinlemesine

Each DOCG/DOC defines its own Riserva aging minimums. Chianti Classico Riserva requires 24 months aging; Barolo Riserva requires 62 months (5+ years). Riserva implies the producer selected their best lots for extended aging. The Spanish equivalent is Reserva (12 months oak + 24 months bottle for reds in Rioja). Not to be confused with the unregulated US term 'Reserve.'
