Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend

Really good basic Chianti Classico

No notes, but remember excellent bottle that had plenty of stuffing, & old school: gamey meets beautiful red fruit

These wines are beautiful! Elegant with sense of place. Will age beautifully

Le Cinciole’s 2017 Chianti Classico is a huge overachiever. Dark red cherry, spice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco infuse the 2017 with tremendous resonance and character, while soft, silky contours add to its immediacy and sheer appeal. Vinified in concrete and aged in cask. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2020)

Nice Classico with some age. Stewed cherries, savory tomato and herbs, cocoa, and lots of iron-rich turned earth. Fruit-driven acidity and tannins in nice balance. Great length. Paired nicely with pepperoni pizza on night one and meat&veggie lasagna on night 2.

This kind of Sangiovese and my palate will always be good friends. Floral aromas. Crunchy red fruits- sour cherries on the entry in laser-like focus. Dried herbs fill out the mid palate. Subtle integration of oak. This is classic Chianti on a budget. Great lift and acidity. Delicate but firm structure. Outstanding food wine.

Always a favorite, especially the 2010 . Cherry, raspberry, fennel, hint of dried lavender

Haunting floral elegance. One of #Chianti’s fastest-growing wineries.

Bright & pure

Great Chianti coming from biological grapes! 2009 has to be tasted nowadays!
