"Delicately perfumed on the nose with a balanced, mid-weight palate. Harmonious and refined with elegant tannins and a long, concentrated finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2019 Chianti Classico offers an attractively spicy bouquet, with anise, tomato leaf, and dried cherry. Approachable and juicy, it is medium-bodied and offers round raspberry and cherry fruit, ripe tannins, and a lift of fresh acidity and notes of cedar on the finish. Drink 2023-2030." —Audrey Frick "The 2019 Chianti Classico is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Incense, pipe tobacco, crushed leaves and earthy notes add nuance to a core of dried red cherry fruit. The 2019 is a very pretty wine. All it is missing is a bit of freshness." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
