The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva le Baroncole (with 3% Canaiolo) doesn’t show the same level of aromatic purity found in the 2010 edition of the wine. Oak tones land heavy over ripe fruit tones of prune and plum with some chopped greens or garden herb at the fringe. On the upside, the wine does a good job of painting a portrait of territory, with those telltale aromas of tilled earth and pressed blue flowers that are so typical of Sangiovese.
