The 2007 Chianti Classico Casanova Il Puro wraps around the palate with layers of dark red fruit, spices and licorice. It shows the richness of the vintage, but also possesses tons of tannic structure. There isn’t a whole lot of vintage 2007 sexiness here, but there is plenty of power and intensity, not to mention massive tannins. The 2007 is 100% Sangiovese aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
