Here's a wine that will appeal to those who love Sangiovese and authentic Tuscan tastes. The 2013 Chianti Classico pushes all the right sensorial buttons. It comes off as clean and variety-specific with tight aromas of wild fruit, cassis, dried blueberries and balsam herb. The wine is lea and compact in the mouth for easy drinking. It offers more in terms of length and persistency than it does heft or concentration. Sangiovese grapes are blended with 10% Canaiolo and 10% Colorino.

Though elegant, this red is also dense, with black cherry and spice flavors. Veers toward the dry side on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 4,000 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
