Made in a big, fleshy, succulent style, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 Chianti Classico (90% Sangiovese, 7% Merlot, and 3% Colorina aged 12 months in French oak) possesses loads of fruit and glycerin in addition to a broad, expansive palate. This is a hedonistic, plump, corpulent Chianti to consume over the next 5-6 years.
