Castello di Volpaia

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

High acidity in the bouquet. Lemon, lime. The smell of roses burned.

I don’t usually enjoy Chianti, but I must admit I haven’t really give it a fair shot either. A few bad impressions have left me gravitating towards the northern Piedmont region.

The acidity and tartness work here. Listening to Cajun folk pop music, reading a book by candlelight, and staying in from the eminent winter storm outside, this wine promises to keep me warm, surprised, and as leafy jovial as a Spring day in Central Park.

This is a juicy treat of a wine — one that makes me astonished how the Earth can sprout something so jammy and full of life from its soil and soul.

Aged and ripened color. Matching aroma. Rather simple and flat complexion. Dry. Low alcohol. Average Chianti. #chianticrusher #wannabesommelier — 9 years ago

Chianti Sangiovese Blend 2013

A great Chianti! Very ripe strawberry and plum with soft tannins and a leather finish. #chianticrusher #envinoveritas — 9 years ago
