Jeb Dunnuck: 92+ Points
Pure and beautifully integrated, the 2020 Chianti Classico is finessed with raspberry coulis, licorice candy, and crushed violets. It has a silky mouthfeel within a medium to slightly fuller body, with perfectly ripe black cherry, and its floral perfume lasts on the finish. This is a wonderful and polished expression hailing from the village of Radda.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A bright, succulent style, this exudes cherry, strawberry, earth and tobacco aromas and flavors, with spicy character. Shows vibrant structure and balance, with a lingering finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2023
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The certified organic Volpaia 2020 Chianti Classico is a terrific base wine that offers clean fruit flavors and an easy-drinking style. Value is one of the key identifying factors in this appellation, yet this fact often goes overlooked. Sangiovese (blended here with 10% Merlot) offers versatile wines with plenty of sweet cherry, spice and blueberry preserves. Best After 2022
