Giulio de' Medici - a member of the florentine Medici family - became Pope Clemente VII in 1523 and used to live in Campoli in the Chianti Classico area where today they produce this superb wine (off the back of the bottle) Love reading about the Medici family. So much history there! Great wine for after a belly full of pasta!

My wife and I learned about Chianti Classico from watching Series 1 of The Wine Show. Before then, Chianti was the bamboo covered bottles from the 70’s that were classified as bad wine, to me at least. But the show changed that for me. The “Classico” at the end of the name makes a big difference but it has to have the black rooster band around the neck as well. We have tried a few at restaurants and were impressed but we hadn’t grabbed one for home before this one. I think it was a good choice after a write up in the LCBO magazine pointed it to our attention. Flavourful, smooth, well balanced and after 20 minutes of decanting it was ready for a taste. Pleased with the choice. Really enjoyed this CC and it was a great compliment for our steak dinner. Good stuff.

Nice dark red color like a cab or merlot... a bit dark for a Sangiovese. Good balance of sour fruit, acid, and some skin tannins. Taste seems like there is some cab or merlot added. Overall a nice balanced wine however not your tropical chianti. 2012 vintage. Really comes to life with some Italian food.
