The 2011 Chianti Classico paints a pretty portrait of the warm vintage and shows attractive aromas of black cherry and mild spice. The intensity is notable, and although the wine remains faithful to its simple, easy-drinking philosophy, it does offer a small twist of sophistication that comes as a pleasant surprise. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018.
