What This Chianti Classico Captivates Us
At 500 feet above sea level, the clay, chalky soil is the heartbeat of this stunning Sangiovese. The gorgeous texture and depth come from the terroir of the estate's historic vineyards, Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo, and Montebuoni vineyards.
The tannins are ripe and chewy, giving the wine a gorgeous grip throughout the entire experience.
The tremendous vintage reveals itself in this wine; it is neither heavy nor extracted. Rather, the fruit is wonderfully balanced and offers incredible depth.
Please pass the pasta!!
