Gotta say, not like your typical Chianti Classico.. but wow it is very flavorful Sangeovese. I am beginning to see a bit of a house style, from their Brunello, to Toscanas, single varietals, up to this Classico. This wine was very well oaked, and a rustic feel, plenty wild cherry but very present flavors of sweet tobacco and licorice, and cedar on the pallet. I think that it was overall a wonderful Chianti Classico, a bit different from the norm, but that's what makes a wine unique and worth trying! Great to pair with heavy marsala sauces, with veal or steak, and heavy cheeses.

Solid Chianti Classico. Nothing spectacular, but very pleasant and not too fussy. Good with pizza or pasta.
