You absolutely can't go wrong with a strong and food-friendly wine like this. The 2015 Chianti Classico (95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo) is not a particularly complex wine, but it does deliver on other levels. It shows beautiful color saturation and a robust appearance that denotes texture and extraction. The bouquet is luscious and lively with dark cherry, blackberry preserve, oak spice and toast. It ages in tonneaux for seven months, and bottle production is a healthy 120,000 bottles strong.

Intense aromas of ripe cherry, wet limestone and wild herbs are backed by leather, tobacco and tar flavors. Shows complexity, balance and fine length, with a long aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2030. 8,300 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
