The organic Badia a Coltibuono 2018 Chianti Classico reveals some ripe fruit with strawberry and raspberry confit. The wine is simple and bright, focusing in on the purity of the primary fruit above all else. An easy and thin mouthfeel leads to fresh acidity and a short, snappy finish to pair with a cheesy artichoke and pizza. This wine is true to itself above all else.

Though ripe and lush, this is also dense, with pointed tannins giving a physical sensation and lifting the cherry, strawberry and floral flavors. Finds a nice youthful equilibrium in the end, where mouthwatering acidity roams. Best from 2023 through 2038. 24,150 cases made, 5,295 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
