Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

I like the graphics. It looks like the wallpaper in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in 1965. The wine is great, too. I'm sneaking a sip while I cook, and hoping there will be a sip left when I'm done cooking. You ever do that?
I won't break down the flavor profile; it just tastes like solid Sangiovese.

Brolio Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

Really nice! 2019 was a great year, and this was just right with a couple of homemade pizzas. It picked up the spices in the pepperoni and its acidity cut through the richness of the sausage. The fruit was delicious and the cigar-leather on the finish was a lovely foil that made you want another sip as much as another bite of pizza. Yum! — a month ago

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Medium body, delicate, but pleasant nose. Smooth with a palate of black cherry. Pairs well with a variety of foods, but excels with pasta. Drank in August 2025 — 4 days ago

Fattoria Selvapiana

Vigneto Bucerchiale Riserva Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese 2009

A World Class single vineyard Sangiovese from the elevated Chianti appellation east of Florence and Chianti Classico.

With a gorgeous, deep garnet appearance, teasing tertiary aromatics and flavors, the earthy 2009 is medium/full, deep, robust, still solidly structured and balanced with ample acidity and light, dusty tannins.

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Not for the meek mannered types. Tannins & oak aging definitely playing the forefront. There were hints of berry,cherry fruit but were just peeking through. Would go well with most tuscan cuisine's. — 5 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Riserva Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

This is nice. Don't know what I paid for it. Strong dark fruit presence with gripping tannins and a little minerality. I'm drinking it without food, and it would be much better with a bit of grilled something. But it's nice, I'll say it again.
