Chianti Classico 2024

92

This is phenomenally delicious Chianti Classico even at this young age and immediately after the cork is pulled. Although I’ve accorded it a high score for a straight “CC” that’s not a Riserva bottling, I still worry that I may have scalped a point off what it deserves because it doesn’t have a more exalted designation. In any case, it offers highly expressive aromas and flavors, beginning with a mix of dried dark cherry fruit notes intertwined with very interesting and prominent savory signals. These include sauteed wild mushrooms, cigar wrapper, baking spices, wild herbs…and more, if I were to let my imagination run as wild as the panoply of scents and flavors given off by the wine. The palate’s mix of sweet fruit, freshening acidity, and grippy tannins – with just a pleasant hint of bitterness in the finish – makes this a remarkably complete and convincing fruit even at this early stage in its development.

The 2023 Chianti Classico is a potent, deep wine that very much captures the personality of this site and winery. A blast of dark red cherry fruit opens first, followed by scents of tobacco, dried herbs, and leather. Readers should expect a potent, structured Chianti Classico for the dinner table. Outstanding.
