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.

This red is highlighted by juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors, with earth and iron accents. Firms up on the lively, persistent finish. Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

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.
