Made with 100% Sangiovese, the 2019 Chianti Classico manages an inky dark color that is unusual for this grape. The bouquet embraces elegant and tapered aromas with blackberry, wild cherry and crushed mineral. Those tones are lifted and bright with a hint of dried cherry or grape skin, but the wine offers plenty of Tuscan character. Production is 28,000 bottles.

A rich, fleshy red, with rusty, iron aromas complementing black cherry and blackberry flavors backed by substantial tannins. While this tightens up on the lingering finish, there is nevertheless a beam of concentrated fruit.
