Chianti Classico Sangiovese
Classic Classico! Red bricking color with all the wonderful tell-tale signs of the region and style. Bright red cherries are just blasting out of the bottle alongside rusted iron. Warm, but light acids surround a slightly tannic and medium dry body. Good finish. It’s an honest expression.

Feb 5th, 2023I just really loved this classic expression of Chianti. The right level of earthiness with notes of red fruit. Want more!

Apr 3rd, 2018Against all odds, this Chianti Classico is superb with fennel sausage and mushrooms! Well-defined structure with bright acid and a schist core. Pure and fresh, sign of a well-made natural wine.

Oct 5th, 2020Dark cherries with abundant power. Aromatics are similarly forward. Tannins add some structure and grip. More complexity lies in the texture than flavors, overall this is very good.

Aug 13th, 2020Florality of dark raspberry and flavors of tart cherry with a tad of wild strawberry. Balanced acidity and minerality.

Nov 22nd, 2019Not to be confused with Rocca di Castagnoli. This is “cool-climate” Sangiovese if you will. Medium bodied with an amplification of secondary flavors like smoke and leather. Cheap enough that you’ll want to throw some in your wild boar ragu and drink the rest while you cook. Cin cin!
