  2. Poggerino Chianti Classico

    2016 / 750 ml. | Item#51117

    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2019
    The 2016 Primamateria, the estate’s Sangiovese/Merlot blend, is another exceptional wine in this range. Raspberry jam, spice, new leather, dried flowers and mocha lend striking aromatic nuance. The 2016 is sleek, ripe and exceptionally polished, not to mention flat out delicious.

    2019 / 750 ml. | Item#50143

    SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2022
    Expressive, sporting cherry, plum, floral and mineral flavors matched to a vibrant frame. Open, elegant and beautifully balanced, making this approachable now. Features fine length, too. Drink now through 2036. 850 cases made, 475 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2022
    The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla is a dark, powerful wine. Black cherry, incense, leather and spice give this virile Riserva plenty of complexity. All that is missing is perhaps a bit of freshness. Even so, the 2019 is impressive, especially in terms of its depth and overall substance. (Antonio Galloni)

    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, August 11, 2021
    Very fresh with sweet berry aromas, as well as cherry and strawberry undertones. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins and a fresh, bright finish. Real purity of fruit here. Drink or hold.
    VN8585 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2021
    The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Nozzole is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Dried flowers, mint, sweet red cherry and herbs all grace this aromatic, light-bodied Chianti Classico. I would not push my luck on aging, as vegetal undertones are likely to become more present over time. (Antonio Galloni)

    2017 / 750 ml. | Item#53571

    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, October 27, 2020
    Blackberries, blueberries and other blue fruit. Some stone and pine-needle undertones. Energetic and fresh for the vintage. Medium to full body and a vivid finish. Drink or hold.
    RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Apr 2021
    From a hot and sunny vintage, the Tenuta di Arceno 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva opens to dark cherry fruit, blackberry and plum. Indeed, you get a wide assortment of purple and black fruits in this generous, medium-bodied Riserva to be served with a sliced, grilled sausage and rosemary potatoes. There are streaks of ripeness and sweetness here, and the glass conjures up nutmeg and toasted almond as well. This hot vintage is slightly more near-term compared to some the recent editions we have seen. (Monica Larner)

  8. Castello d’Albola Santa Caterina

    Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
    2015 / 750 ml. | Item#52553

    SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - May 31, 2019
    Top notes of berry and dark flowers are underscored by earth, stone and tobacco flavors in this red, which is vibrant and elegant despite the dense structure, yet it’s the vibrant acidity that defines this overall. Shows terrific length. Best from 2022 through 2036. 2,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.
    JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, September 11, 2018
    This is a good example of a Gran Selezione where the fruit is the main attraction as opposed to the wood. It falls into red territory, which includes dried red plums, cranberries, dried nutmeg and rose petals. Full-bodied and rather Burgundian, if the comparison is permitted. Fine, velvety tannins, zesty acidity and a long, very structured finish. Drink now or hold.

  9. Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico Riserva

    2016 / 750 ml. | Item#48236

    VN9696 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2020
    The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva will thrill Sangiovese lovers. Ample and expressive in the glass, with tremendous nuance, the Riserva is simply exceptional in 2016. Black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, incense, menthol and licorice bring out the darker side of Sangiovese. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. The 2016 is very clearly a special wine in the making. (Antonio Galloni)
    RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Apr 2021
    The Tenuta di Capraia 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Capraia is tightly packed with cherry fruit, raspberry and cassis. The wine’s primary aromas are lifted and bright, and the wine moves over the palate efficiently with fresh, mid-weight appeal. It serves to refresh and revive your palate during a course of Sardinian capra al profumo di alloro, or roasted goat with laurel essence. (Monica Larner)
    SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Mar 31, 2021
    A harmonious texture and profile sets the stage for this red’s focused cherry, currant and floral notes. Mineral and tobacco accents sneak in as this plays out on the long finish. Shows excellent structure too. Drink now through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
    JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, November 7, 2019
    Aromas and flavors of blue fruit, wet earth and hints of slate, following through to a medium to full body and chewy tannins. Needs to soften a little. Better after 2021.
    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2021
    Made entirely from Sangiovese, this opens with aromas of violet, tilled soil and dark-skinned berries. The savory palate offers blackberry, tobacco and black pepper alongside polished tannins and firm acidity. Enjoy through 2027. (Kerin O’Keefe)

  11. Le Cinciole Chianti Classico

    VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2020
    The 2017 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous, inviting wine. Pliant fruit and soft contours give the 2017 so much immediacy and appeal. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red cherry while spice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco infuse the 2017 with tremendous character. The 2017 is such a beautiful and inviting wine. It was fermented in concrete and aged in oak for 18 months. Wow! (Antonio Galloni)

    A salty, savory version, this red offers woodsy underbrush and loam notes, along with sanguine, iron, leather and meaty cherry aromas and flavors. Lively and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and herbs. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2029. 12,200 cases made, 8,600 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

    A bright yet firmly structured Chianti Classico, with iron, leather, almond and floral accents surrounding a core of cherry fruit. Sleek and intense, with a lingering finish echoing cherry, red berry and mineral notes. Best from 2024 through 2040. 4,500 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, July 4, 2022
    Aromas of sweet berries, crushed stones and violets follow through beautifully to a medium-bodied with fine, integrated tannins and a pretty finish. Crisp and crunchy with structure. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
