Viacosta Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2019
Not as feral & gamey as the ‘16s in my memory, but still vibrant old school Chianti: nose of cracked leather, cassis, & ripe black cherries; loads of underbrush, kirsch, beets, black cherries on palate. Quite svelte in body, perhaps leaner than past vintages. One of my go to Chianti producers year in year out. — 8 months ago
I once found, in a corner of a old bottle shop in Rome, a couple of back vintages, i reckon from late '80, of their Monna Claudia which is a blend of sangiovese and Cab Sauv. I was blown away. Super chianti every year, i agree, but not for everyone. You need to love sangiovese.
Cheers!

No. 36 Bottesola Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016
That it's 'only' a classico and not a riserva worth mentioning, because for about 24$ it shines like one crazy diamond (and not rough cut). All kinds of gamey notes: blood sausage, dense wild red berries, pipe smoke and tobacco. Very strong fruit but still plays second fiddle to all those other wonderful notes. Plenty of mid-palate and a long, haunting finish. Begs for all kinds of food and of course has a strong but not stringent acid backbone, though enjoyed after a meal while watching the Knicks lose to Milwaukee. Seriously old school and could imagine attracting fans of more traditional Rioja. — 2 years ago

Monna Claudia Toscana IGT 2007
Classic Sangiovese. Very nice cherries and berry flavors on the front with a relaxing soft finish. Worth the restaurant markup. — 10 years ago
