Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
This medium ruby wine smells of black cherry, coffee, mocha and a hint of eucalyptus peeking through. The palate is weighted medium, with dark red fruit flavors mingling among the oak spices. The wood is not overplayed, however. I can taste clove, cinnamon, allspice, anise and oregano in here, yet the feeling is very fresh and lively. I'm usually not a pizza-and-wine guy, but this one goes well with a slice of cheese and black olives.

A new vintage, and after tasting every vintage since 2015, I am happy to report the consistency is amazing. Super solid value Chianti Classico. As always, screaming to be paired with food.

New vintage of an old favorite everyday go-to. Bright and nice minerals. Great food wine. Revisited in Oct ‘22. Drinking really well now.

Great weeknight wine. Medium intensity nose of ripe cherry and sweet berries, along with stony gravel scents. A bit more intense in the mouth than the nose suggests, with lots of savory-tinged cherry, old barrel notes, and stony minerals. No tannin left, and with good transparency and acids, it will go well with our pork cutlet parmigiana.

Blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino & 10% Pugnitello, medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of tobacco and banking spices. Racy tannins, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Drink now at its best.

Enjoyable! From a £4.99 half bottle, of which I’ll buy more. Slightly thin, always seeming as though it should deliver more, but a cracking nose and of course great QPR.

Jul 28th, 2019A bit one dimensional, but I think with some age this one will end up quite good. Currently nowhere near the outstanding 16 vintage. Nicely pairing with our Italian dinner nonetheless.
