Wine from Chianti

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: A beautiful nose that shows dark plums, vanilla, tar, tobacco and spices. Full-bodied and very powerful with punchy tannins, but some real integration to the agile fruit and acidity. The complexity and depth at the end is...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A very fresh 2017 with plenty of tight and linear tannins that give the wine energy and drive. Medium to full body. Racy finish. This is impressive. Fantastic texture and complexity on the palate with purple fruit and wet...

Decanter, 97 points: The south-facing Rancia vineyard reaches altitudes of 420 metres, overlooking the lower-lying vineyards of Colli Senesi. It boasts complex soils of calcareous clay layered with the chalky white limestone-like alberese and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Streamlined and elegant, this mid-weight red trots out notes of grilled herb and dark fruit nuances that segue to spice, tilled earth and savory tobacco, with great complexity. This 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A fresh and bright red with sliced-orange and black-cherry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Tight and compact. Long and flavorful finish. Will age beautifully. Drink or hold.

Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Vinsanto del Chianti Classico Volpaia is a very pretty wine done in a floral, fresh style that really shows the personality of Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca nicely. Orange peel, spice, roasted almond and floral...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: A beautiful nose with tangerine peel, strawberries, rose petals, boysenberries, cranberries, red plums, red cherries and dark spices. Very grainy and refined on the palate with a real kick from the orange-rind undertones...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Exotic spice, pipe tobacco, dark-skinned berry, forest floor and a whiff of French oak all come together on this structured red. The elegant, full-bodied palate evokes Marasca cherry, black raspberry, licorice and white...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A more restrained Coltassala and, as far as we’re concerned, all the better for it. What a nose, from the very beginning here, with crushed violets, pressed lavender, bilberries, fresh sage and basil, licorice and crushed...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: A beam of pure cherry and blackberry fruit defines this intense, racy red, which is firm and tensile, with fine balance and a lingering aftertaste of vibrant fruit, graphite and tobacco flavors. Sangioveto and Canaiolo...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2012 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baroncole is deep, powerful and concentrated, with a demi-glace level of textural unctuousness that is impossible to miss. Black cherry jam, soy, exotic spices and crushed rose petals...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The superb 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista shows impeccable balance and offers a classic portrait of Sangiovese (with a small part Malvasia Nera). Castello di Ama has a beautifully unique way of...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is very fine and classy with a purity of sangiovese that gives a blueberry and cherry character throughout. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a racy and pretty finish. Bordeaux blend and happening. Better in 2018.
