Reviews & Scores
Cooked red and dark fruit aromas. Cream texture with firm tannins, this has a lovely wood spice which shows through on the palate for days!97 Points and Platinum Award, Decanter
A wine that delivers serious quality and pedigree for the money. The 2015 Chianti Classico, 100% Sangiovese, is all class. The flavours are vibrant and lively, with plenty of bright red cherry and strawberry character. This is an especially understated, finessed wine for the year. The Chianti Classico is a blend of approximately 40% Greve, 40% Gaiole and 20% Radda fruit. All the elements come together beautifully.
