Pouring a youthful ruby/magenta color, the 2021 Chianti Classico offers a gorgeous nose of pure black raspberry, candied violets, wet stones, and sweet Mediterranean herbs. Juicy and inviting, it has ultra-fine tannins, mouthwatering, balanced acidity, and a long, clean finish. It is a lovely wine that shows its structure on the finish, so even though it’s hard to resist now, it’s going to age gracefully over the next 10 years.
