What to Expect

Chianti is a large region that produces a wide range of styles. From the basic Chianti to the finest Chianti Classico Riservas, some elements of the wines remain consistent. The wines are based on the Sangiovese grape, which typically yields a medium-bodied wine with strawberry and cherry fruits that are accented with delicate notes of green herb, dusty soil, leather and spice. While Chianti can be produced exclusively from Sangiovese, the vast majority of Chianti is blended with a small percentage of other grapes. Traditional grapes like Mammolo, Colorino, and Canaiolo were used to add some flesh and aromatic complexity to the finished wine but always played second fiddle to Sangiovese. Many producers now include some Merlot, adding fruit and richness, or Cabernet Sauvignon, which contributes power and dark fruit flavors, to their Chianti yielding a wine that is richer and chunkier than the wines of the past.

It develops quite full-bodied on the palate, warm and generous, with a well-built, velvety suite of tannins. Theprogression through the finish is complex and lingering, complemented throughout by a judicious acidity thatperfectly balances the alcohol. The nose shows rich, concentrated fruit, with abundant blackcurrant and blueberry preceding clean-edgedimpressions of plum preserves, while black pepper and cinnamon nuances mark a very lengthy finale.
