This wine opens with a heady perfume of violets, spring flowers, herbs and sandalwood. Bright and fresh on the palate, the fruit rolls over the palate in intricately woven strands of cherries, boysenberry, and red-berry liqueur. Polished tannins and excellent balance between fruit and acidity provide the structural underpinning for an additional two to three years of aging if desired.
–Ben Giliberti, CW Director of Wine Education
A bright ruby red in color, this Chianti Classico shows well-integrated aromas of tart red cherries, tobacco, sunbaked earth, and a hint of cedar spice. On the palate, firm structure and refreshing acidity make it a very versatile food wine.
An intense red, with saturated black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by menthol and tar aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and balanced, in its youthful way, with excellent length. A little aeration helps, so decant now.
The 2021 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Bright and punchy, the 2021 races across the palate with lively red-toned fruit, dried flowers, minerals and cedar. Vibrant acids lend energy to a Chianti Classico that marries fruit intensity with energy. This is such an inviting wine.
