The 2010 Chianti Classico Terre di Prenzano shows lovely depth and purity in its dark red cherries, leather, licorice and spices. The fruit tends towards the darker end of the spectrum, while the tannins remain a bit firm, yet well-balanced. This is a terrific wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015.

A lush and concentrated red, boasting cherry, raspberry ganache and tobacco flavors. Dusty tannins provide support as this lingers on the spice-tinged finish. Best from 2013 through 2020. 6,000 cases made, 1,800 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
