Chianti Classico Sangiovese
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Probably my #1 Chianti estate. So fragrant and elegant. Nose has pure macerated cherry fruit, deep gravelly minerality, dried flowers and sweet spices. Lean, pure, and flavorful, with clingy intense cherry and ridiculous inner mouth aromas. Medium-full body and crisp acids on the long finish. (Not sure if I’m being objective here because of the estate.)

Light in color, nice palate, spicy, well balanced and is a good companion to food but also solo.
