Casa Emma
Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Popped and poured; DIAM cork. The 2015 Casa Emma CC pours a deep ruby color with a translucent but near opaque core with no obvious staining of the tears. Medium viscosity. On the nose, medium+ intensity with notes of super funky cherry (not Brett), dried herbs, porcini, menthol and cardamom. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Finish is medium and satisfying. Confirmed are the notes of cherry accompanied by dusty earth notes and orange bitters. Drink now and enjoy.

Dependable Chianti. Gravel, iodine, dark macerated cherry, vanilla in the nose. Great palate presence with lots of flavor intensity, balsamic savory notes predominating. Note super complex but very satisfying.

Jan 14th, 2022Dark ruby with a translucent core. On the nose, medium + intensity, with dark cherry, citronella, and freshly tilled earth. On the palate, it’s bone dry with flavors of dark, tart cherries, bergamot, with leather, dried herbs and spices. Medium+ tannin (nearing high) and medium+ acid. Long, long finish. Tremendous texture and perfect balance. This is a stunning Chianti Classico. No Riserva was made in 2017 due to yields so the CC got all of the best juice. It shows. I wish I had bought every bottle I could find…

Oct 23rd, 2021The 2016 vintage in Toscano created wines that are right up my alley and this bottle from Chianti Classico by Casa Emma was no exception. Abundant cherries, dried herbs, black tea, and dusty earth. So fresh and energetic! At this stage, the wine is quite tannic…super duper dry, and the finish is as long as the day. Obviously best with food but not necessary given the abundant character and generosity. What a beautiful Chianti Classico and a just a gorgeous wine in general. QPR is out of this world.

Vintage is 2007. Sangiovese w some Canaiolo & Malvasia nera. Zippy acidity makes this a great food wine! Thanks @Casa_Emma

Sweet tarts anyone? Not well versed on Chianti Classico (yet) but I am guessing this is a nice one. Tartness balanced with light fruit and dry vanilla...

Very enjoyable. Loads of cherry, some earth. There was a bit of tartness. Little tannic but seamless with food.

Wanted to try this while young (4 years old) to compare as it ages. The 2015s are powerful expressions of the classic Chianti. Very fruit forward with surprisingly little acidity. Dried cherry and blackberry stood out. Paired well with gourmet pizza. Visited Casa Emma in 2015 so naturally think this is a great bottle.

Well balanced. Not too heavy. Some tannins. Really enjoyed this with some ribollita on a frigid night.
