The 2008 Chianti Classico sparkles on the palate with notable brilliance in its dark red fruit. This is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Chianti that showcases the more feminine side of the appellation. Clean, mineral notes on the finish provide the freshness and verve that will make this a terrific wine for the dinner table. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Viticcio is an excellent source for well-priced wines from the heart of Chianti Classico.Importer: Massanois Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 470-6769
