In the beautiful olive and cypress-studded countryside between Florence and Siena lie the quaint hilltop villages of the Chianti Classico region. The wine of the same name is produced exclusively in this charming and beautiful area. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Elegant, full, harmonious, and persistent on the nose, with suggestions of vanilla and raspberry. On the palate, it is long, velvety, full, generous, and warm. Perfect with roasts and game.
This beefy red relies on its dense texture, concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry, and muscular tannins to get its message across. Wild herb, iron, and earth notes add depth, while the finish is long and spicy. Best from 2027 through 2043.—B.S.
The nose is savory and umami, with aromas of leather, graphite, underbrush, crushed rocks, bitter herbs and citrus swirling in the glass. Those earthy, bitter notes remain on the palate, but sweet cherries and wild strawberries pop overhead, while charged with powerful tannins and acid.
