Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Medium ruby . Cedar , dried herbs and spiced cherry , strawberry compote , on the nose. On the palate red fruit focused with the sour cherry and strawberry notes coming through along with the dried spices and rosemary , sage . Acidity is refreshing and tannin is quite rounded but noticeable . Good length , balanced alcohol and a cedar, saline tinged finish . Needs time really better in 5 years and will last well a further 5-8. — 5 days ago

Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Not a typical Chianti IMO and not sure if it was doing a blind tastes test I would ever guess Chianti. That being said it’s a super drinkable wine that like most wines, gets better as it sits. Enjoyable at the first sip and even more so at the last! This might be a good introduction to Chianti for first-timers. — a day ago
