100% Sangiovese grapes, from vineyards consisting of shale (Galestro) 70%, sandstone (Arenaria-Calcare-Pietraforte) 20%, limestone (Alberese) 10%. Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits with sweet spice and earthy floral notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blackberry and currants with tobacco, licorice and vanilla, adding pepper spice. Fine vivid tannins, medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with fruit and earthy mineral character. Nice!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of plums, cherries, licorice, oak, light vanilla, bitter vegetables, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, dark chocolates, black pepper, earth, leaves and eaucaliptus.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and tart on the palate with cherries, strawberries, cranberries, red currants, oak, smoke, vanilla, earth, forest floor, green vegetables, graphite black pepper and spices.
Medium finish with round tannins and spices.
This Chianti Classico is simple and unbalanced, but drinkable. A good food wine with a nice mouthfeel. Not my style, though.
Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.
Made from organic grapes.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Cherry, herbs, clay, and a tiny bit of leather. Perfect for anything tomato based pasta dish.

Just a hint of friendly funk. Very silky texture, and I rarely comment on or notice texture.

Traditionally made Chianti Classico from an American expat who followed a dream. Red cherries, leather, vanilla and red current on the nose. Perhaps a touch of alcohol too. Somewhat less interesting on the palate where the mid to light-weight structure yields a somewhat muted flavor profile. For around $20, it's a good choice.

Juicy red cherry, savory notes, menthol, rush of tart acidity on the attack - then fresh into finish. Med- body.
