The accessible and satisfying 2015 Chianti Classico is 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo from Gaiole in Chianti. This is a fine and precise wine that puts forth a classic interpretation of the varieties at hand. It also reflects some of the wildness of the territory it represents. This expression ages in tonneaux and botte grande for 11 months and the purity of the fruit is left virtually untouched.

Shows extra dimension right from the first sniff. Cherry, strawberry, earth, graphite and tobacco aromas and flavors grapple with stiff tannins, but find equilibrium on the long finish. Solidly built for the long haul. Best from 2021 through 2035. 7,000 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
