Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

The nose is intense, intense, ripe cherry, almond, black tea, soy sauce, this is complex and inviting. The palate is acid driven, showing some young and lively tannins, but it's rich, broad, with some matter on the side, cherries and black tea notes, a bowl of a mid palate with that tannic effect, and a long tannic finish with cherry, a tiny salty, savoury note, some black tea and a bit of a zing thzt lasts for a good minute. Good stuff — a day ago

Il Grigio da San Felice Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese

Random pick, went very well with vegetable marinara cannelloni. Violet and herb nose. Definitely a food wine. Light lingering finish. — 10 days ago

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2013

This 11 year old Sangiovese is still drinking nicely.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, light oak and chocolate notes.

Showing nice complexity, but a little unbalanced.

I definitely like it better with age.

A blend of 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$30.

Ruby red color with aromas of red berry fruits, smoke and smoky cedar notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with oak and earthy notes. Long finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit, smoke and espresso notes. Nice! — 18 days ago

Castell'in Villa

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2019

Medium ruby , quite wide medium light garnet rim . Quite deep slightly spicy , smoky red cherry , fresh plum with menthol touches, rosemary and thyme notes . On the palate nice fresh cherry , blueberry , strawberry , dried spice and a slight menthol , smoky note from the nose . Good freshness and ripe but slightly grippy tannins , just balanced alcohol . Good menthol, cherry and liquorice tinged finish . This is drinking well now , quite fruit driven and juicy but well balanced, as per usual best with food and will probably continue at this level for another 4-5 years or so — 18 days ago
