REVIEWS:
92/100 Robert Parker.
Raffaele Vecchione - 93, WinesCritic.com Fragrante al naso con note di prugne nere, more e ribes nero. Corpo pieno, tannini soffici ed un finale leggero e completamente armonico e fuso con la matrice vino. Finale molto fruttato nell'aftertasting. Bevi ora fino al 2024 ed oltre.
Kerin O’Keefe" - 88, Wine Enthusiast Subdued aromas of cedar, tilled soil and tobacco slowly emerge from the glass. The tightly wound palate offers prune, mocha and clove alongside assertive tannins.
About the Chianti Region
Chianti, the red wine of central Tuscany Italy, is a product of Sangiovese grapes. Historically, it was served in a straw basket-wrapped flask called a fiasco, but most Chianti wines now come in standard-shaped bottles.
What is IGT? IGT is short for 'Indicazione Geografica Tipica' Established in 1992, IGTs provide a step-up from the everyday Vino da Tavola (VdT), offering high-caliber wines that don’t meet the DOC and DOCG guidelines.
Look no further than so-called Super Tuscans for a perfect example. Now, IGTs welcome wines with a more 'international' flavor, ones that skip the winemaking requirements and grape varieties demanded by DOCs and DOCGs. With over 120 IGTs, Italy rocks! Other examples: Toscana IGT; Veneto IGT; Puglia IGT; Isola dei Nuraghi IGT.
