Sangiovese from Italy - Tuscany
Review Date : 09-Sep-2022
Full, deep, ruby-black, even colour throughout. The nose is soft, with aromas of cherry and blueberry intertwined with sweet herbs and subtle spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of cherry and blueberry have a juicy, sweet core, unfolding oregano, marjoram, vanilla and cloves. The fruit is succulent with excellent acid balance. Fine-grained tannins framed the palate with a firm yet silky grip. This Chianti Classico shows balanced, juicy fruit purity and a smooth tannin grip. Match with meatballs and minute steak over the next 3-5 years. A blend of Sangiovese 80%, Colorino 10%, Pugnitello 10%, 8-10 days fermentation on skins and MLF in stainless steel, aged in large Slavonian oak for 10-12 months. 13% alc. 18/20 pts (90 pts) Sep 2022 RRP $27.75
