The 2018 Chianti Classico is fabulous. In 2018, the Chianti Classico is a pretty big wine for this estate, but it's also a serious wine that absolutely needs time in bottle to find its center. Black cherry, tobacco, licorice, cloves and menthol showcase the darker, wilder side of Sangiovese, an impression reinforced by tannins that are potent and burly. I love the 2018 for its weight, substance and faithful expression of a house style.

Perfumed and loaded with finesse, this fragrant red opens with heady scents of fragrant purple flower, woodland berry, camphor and an earthy whiff of tilled soil. On the savory radiant palate, bright acidity and sleek tannins accompany juicy black cherry, raspberry and star anise.
