Boasting a pretty ruby color and medium-dark concentration, the 2011 Chianti Classico Le Ellere makes a nice aromatic presentation of cherry fruit, blanched almond and distant touches of exotic spice. The style here is heavier and thicker than many of its peers, but the overall effect works well especially within the context of the warm 2011 vintage.

Cherry and earth notes mingle in this rich and supple red. Hints of spice and tar add interest as this stays long and snappy on the finish. Balanced and elegant. Best from 2016 through 2022. 3,400 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
