Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2019

Morello cherry, lavender, plum, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and blood orange aromatics. Medium bodied and refined, a very well balanced Chianti Classico that is nonetheless branded with powdery, skinsy tannins. Terrific volume of fruit, plush and sensual mouthfeel and piquant acidity that is as sculptural as it is moreish. One of the best Classisco’s we’ve tasted and excellent value. Waters Wine Co

A very typical and beautiful Chianti Classico with cherry, burnt-orange and polished-wood aromas that follow through to a full body with round tannins and a fresh, vivid finish. 93 Points – James Suckling
