Tenuta di Renieri
Chinati Classico
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
This one needs at least an hour to open up. What a big difference.
Dark ruby in color with medium intensity and an orange/ brick rim.
On the nose, raspberry juice, strawberries, cherries, plums, licorice, earth, metals, spices and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with long, thin legs and medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with tart cherries, raspberries, plums, earth, licorice, light vanilla, cherry bubble gum and peppercorn.
Short finish with fine grained tannins, yet noticeable, and tart strawberries.
This 6 year old Chianti Classico, is 100% Sangiovese and is a nice food wine, but not great by itself. I enjoyed it with assorted cheeses, by the pool.
Aged for 12 months in Allier oak barriques.
14% alcohol by volume.

Not the best Chianti Classico, but okay with a tuna steak and skillet corn with edamame and basil.
