Argenina Chianti Classico Sangiovese
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
2005. In great shape 14 years on. Fairly intense aromas of black cherry, spice, dried leaves. Crisp and lively flavors of dark fruit, saddle leather, and hints forest (earth leaves etc)

Nose & flavor of orange peel & sour cherries. Zippy acidity. Elegant, well-balanced wine. My last bottle. End of an era!

Dark, brooding, powerful and masculine in style but not lacking for beauty. Tons of depth and tannic structure. Tobacco, mint, leather and cedar are fairly dominant right now but there’s a juicy dark cherry component that shines throughout (with a hint of vanilla). The freshness and buoyancy make this a complete and fulfilling effort. This will be beautiful to drink in another 2-3 years. Outstanding.

Dry at first but opens and becomes fruity and yummy. Great with pasta and pork.

A nice find in the cellar. This is drinking great with complex, savoury elements; leather, cedar, dried fruits, a hint of soy like umami.

Jan 11th, 20142013 opened March 2024. Intense scent of leather on the nose, cherries and Cassis on the front. Bold tannic structure. Lots of high notes on the finish, but there’s a distinctive, bitter undertone that accompanies the high notes. I could do without that bitterness. I’d rate this wine higher if it weren’t there. The finish is long. Interesting that it fades, but comes back when one swallows again after tasting.

2017 is exactly what I would have in mind if ordering a Classico at a restaurant. Wonderful aromas and flavors with great balance. Very food friendly.

Feb 11th, 2022Beyond solid Chianti Classico. Took me right back to Tuscany. Dusty cherry and strawberry aromas. Signature Tuscan terrior, iron, bricky, theater notes with burnt orange peel are presented. Mouth watering acidity and soft velvet tannins creep up with a few sips and are refreshed with an accompanying ragú. Stellar Sangiovese at a great price. Salute

「アルジェニーナ」の畑は南、南東、南西向き斜面で石灰質土壌。収穫後、ステンレスタンク内で10〜15日間のマセラシオンを行い、ステンレスタンクとオーク樽（15ヘクトリットル）の併用で14ヶ月熟成を行っています。
とのことで、とても綺麗な自然派ワイン。赤系、黒系果実と熟れた果実、熟成からくる第３アロマ、皮革、キノコ、タール等。SVらしい酸の高さとタンニン。2000円台前はと思えぬ非常に良いワイン

Gorgeous, a young Sophia Loren, classic beauty with pure beam of cherry fruit mingled with dried herbs, olive, damp Earth and almost a subtle minty & licorice note. Just the right amount of juicy acidity & tannins - so cohesive & balance like a Ballerina. Need more of this type of Chianti Classico in my life. Sang w/rigatoni in bison/zucchini/yellow squash ragu
