A fresh and crunchy Chianti Classico with sour cherry and sliced orange aromas and flavors. Medium body. Crisp and lightly chewy.
Robert Parker: 90 PointsThe organic Castello di Verrazzano 2020 Chianti Classico represents a vintage with more natural heft and texture due to the scorching hot summer season. The wine is more accessible as a result, with immediate tones of black cherry, campfire ash and spice.
Ruby red color with purplish reflexes. Intense nose of red mature fruits such as cherry and blackberry blended with floral notes. The taste is harmonic with great balance, good structure, and a fine, sweet tannic component.
Pairs well with appetizers and main courses of red meats and game.
Sangiovese is a red wine grape predominantly associated with Italy, particularly in the Tuscany region. Known for its high acidity and versatile nature, Sangiovese produces wines with bright red fruit flavors, including cherry and strawberry, along with floral and herbal notes. Famous Tuscan wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are primarily made from Sangiovese. The grape's character can vary depending on the winemaking style and the specific terroir, ranging from lighter, more approachable styles to complex, age-worthy wines with robust tannins and a distinct sense of place. Sangiovese wines are often praised for their food-friendly acidity and ability to express the unique characteristics of the regions where they are grown.
