A few rustic Chianti's on the deck @boccacciocellars today! The same, but, different to the Isole wines from a couple of weeks ago. 2013 Chianti Classico looking raw, needs time to settle. Some chewing texture demanding food. 2012 Chianti Classico Riserva, a hard edge, structure supported by a splash in some new oak. Solid core of fruit and some funk. Again one to watch. 2013 Il Poggio a density not present in the others. Fruit depth handling the oak beautifully. Refined texture, plenty of yumminess! Can't wait for the 2012 ... Birth year wine for my first! #Chianti #Monsanto #IlPoggio #Tuscany #Wine #ItalianWine #FilthyGoodVino

Just drank the 2012 with a chicken pesto pizza and it was outstanding. The only way it would be better is if it had a few more years to age and I hadn't stayed out until 7 last night.

Dark fresh berries, toasted almond and vanilla on nose. Dry, very tannic, medium acid, long finish. Flavor a from nose do not transfer to palate. Heavy, Cab-like body.
