Chianti Classico

Castello di Ama

Gran Selezione San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Too young but still very nice with a 5h decant - suggest checking back in another 3-5 years. Tannins are very present, but the fruit and earth are very nice. Good acid too, especially for a hot vintage. — 10 days ago

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2015

Drinking beautifully… dark cherry, light spice, fruit forward with tannins dissipating after 15 minutes in the decanter. This remains a marvelous Chianti in the traditional style as Laura Bianchi continues the legacy of this great family of vintners. — 8 days ago

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

First time trying this popular Chianti Classico of which some 180,000 bottles are produced each year, and which retails for around £20-25. I must say, this is a very decent, polished, harmonious wine, although I found it lacking in either regional or varietal typicity and was surprised to find that it’s composed of 100% Sangiovese without any Cabernet in the blend. To me, it smelled and tasted closer to left bank Bordeaux than it did to any region of Tuscany - I don’t know if the winery’s use of French barrels contributes to this.

As I say, not a bad wine, but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone seeking an expression of the region, or grape.

Wow. This product is great. Recommended by crush wines and it was a winner. A little tart. Went with a variety of foods - and not all Italian themed. A great glass to enjoy on its own. So happy I bought three bottles. Buy. You will not be disappointed — 15 days ago
