Riserva Rancia Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2015

2015. Sangiovese. Torn here: clearly well-made and concentrated but dark fruit is still so muted even after 4-5 hours of air. Some oak definitely masking the fruit but such dark, dry flavors - could use some more acid/tartness to liven it up (like its more vibrant sister wine Fontalloro). Maybe time balances it out, but I’ll be on to other (warm) years by then. $43. — 3 years ago

Still young, cherry, rose, camphor, a bit of talc powder.

Castellare di Castellina

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Quite dark ruby color. Nose kind of follows with darker berry and cherry notes, musky/earthy element and some oak. On the palate wine is midweight+, suprisingly open and like nose suggested rather dark toned compared to what I've used to from this bottling. Had to check if I grabbed a Felsina CC instead of this. Anyway a solid CC in the making — 4 years ago

9.1

Denser, weightier than Felsina but also shallower. The structure is simpler and the aroma is not as lively. Has subtle authentic perfume, just not as appealing as Felsina. — 6 years ago

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

I wish all Chianti tasted like Felsina. Ok, yes it was a warm & ripe & fruity vintage, but there’s still a lot of depth & nuance that doesn’t get lost: Rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, black and red cherry, black plum pit, a touch of roast meat. Aromatic & supple, well-managed tannins. Bravo 👏🏻 — 2 years ago

Montevertine

Pian del Ciampolo Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2016

1.5L bottle served side-by-side to Felsina’s “Fontalloro”. Decanted for two hours and returned to bottle an hour before serving. Sour cherries, black tea, dried herbs...a stunner with food. Obviously the more traditional of the two. A lovely IGT that stays true to the region’s roots. No pun intended. — 6 years ago
