Maturing textbook Chianti Classico with 90% Sangiovese/10% Canaiolo raised in very large oak vats. Deeper and riper than many non-reserva CC, this still retains all of the hallmarks of CC - sour cherry fruit, dusty tannin and lively acidity, Really, a lovely wine for current drinking or in the next couple of years. Tasted Feb 2022.
Classically styled CC with dried fruit, herbs and earthy flavours. Med-bodied, with light tannins and good acidity. Wanted a bit more concentration.
Needs some air time to fully open up and soften some of the hard edges
