Castello di Volpaia

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2011

2011 vintage on April 17 2015. Agree with comments about a great everyday chianti Classico as your house chianti. Dry but beats down the cheese in a pizza in a good way. — 11 years ago

2009 vintage barely visible at bottom... Lovely expression of Sangiovese. Wild fruit and flowers: cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and violet flavors, all encapsulated in a humidifier full of premium cigars. Requires 30-45 minutes of aeration. — 11 years ago

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

Riserva Nipozzano Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend 2009

Reason this is a consistent 90pt wine, it's very good. Bouquet is a dusty, peppery bowl of dark cherry. Taste is bright fruit, peppery, dark berry, a bit chewy and leathery. Great with a spicy Italian dish and Sinatra in the background ! — 12 years ago

Tenuta di Nozzole

Riserva Nozzole Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2013

On to the dark side. Maybe not a barn burner in terms of ratings not oh so good with an earthy pasta. Great tannin, leather, bright cherry, and long acid backboned finish. Mah-velous! — 10 years ago
