The 2021 Chianti Classico is superb. Bright and vibrant, the 2021 has plenty of fruit behind its lively acids. Dark red/purplish berries, crushed rocks, lavender and rose petal are some of the many notes that inform this explosive, deep Chianti Classico. The 2021 is a stellar wine, especially with a bit of air.

Dark purple-colored all the way through with a hint of magenta at the rim, the 2021 Chianti Classico is sappy with aromas of candied violets, fresh plum, wet asphalt, and sage. Juicy and full-bodied, it's rounded with ripe, silky tannins, a full mid-palate, and a clean finish. This ripe, seductive wine is easygoing and versatile to drink over the next 6-7 years.
