This is a LOT of Chianti for your dollar. 2015 vintage has a ways to go in terms of attaining the proper harmony but the sheer intensity, focus and rustic beauty are superb. Pulsating with bright acid, mineral tension and dusty tannin. Tart red fruits and anise/cinnamon flavors light up the mid palate. Give it a serious decant now and it will be quite rewarding. Outstanding potential.

Beautiful Chianti from Angela Fronti, a lovely shining star of the region. Exuberant wine. Concentrated
on the palate. Bright red Bing cherry and violet flavors. Smooth but still
present tannins and a touch of vanilla on the finish. Could age for a few years, but can also enjoy now. Delicious with spinach and ricotta pasta.
