Tons of fruit layers to this great Chianti. Bright berry and red fruit, plum, cherries- it just keeps on giving. Hints of pear on the back end. A great vintage!

Soft cherry on the palate with earthiness of the soil. I love the wines of Laura Bianchi. Peaking and ready to drink now or for a couple more years.

Classic Chianti from Laura Bianchi... smokey with ripe fruit forward. A balanced, forward Wine. Drink it now as it is at its peak.
Enjoyed with grilled lamb, root vegetables (including fennel), & tomatoes and mozzarella
