Chianti Classico

Castellare di Castellina

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2023

375ml. Nose has crunchy black cherry fruit, and the characteristic earthiness of the region has taken on a slightly animal, feral quality in this iteration. Savory and relatively full in the mouth. A little drying and bitter at the end of the finish. — 14 days ago

I have the 2023 in my cellar; apparently, all the single-vineyard lots went into it, so i’m looking forward to trying it 😄

The 2023 is really good! Loved it. Some would maybe want to wait a year or two before trying it, but it was good now to my tastes.

Castello di Monsanto

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022

Year in, year out, this is my fav Chianti Classico. To me it captures all what I look for in a good every day Sangiovese - freshness, a bit of tannic edge, juicy flow, a savory sweetness to the fruit. And food friendliness!
Enticing nose with red cherries, a bit of wet undergrowth & turned earth, a bit of tomato leaf, a flowery whiff. Joyful!
Medium bodied on the palate with great energy & flow. The tannins present, a touch rustic, but in a nice way, the acidity juicy & vibrant. Nice depth and long finish.
So drinkable but also has some seriousness to it.
Love Monsanto!

Ruffino

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, balsamic, and wood smoke; on the palate, it's dry, with high acidity, high tannins, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of red currant, cherries, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. — 20 days ago
