Here's a terrific expression from Tuscany, a wine with a contemporary flare. With small percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in this otherwise Sangiovese-based wine, the Tenuta Casenuove 2019 Chianti Classico flaunts bright cherry and bold fruit definition. It is intermingled with wild bramble that reflects the landscape of Panzano in Chianti with its pretty mix of vineyards and forests. Hints of smoke and scorched earth fill in the rear. Production is 59,500 bottles, hitting the market now.
