2016 Chianti Classico Fattorie di Isole e Olena

Here's a great value from Tuscany. The 2016 Chianti Classico opens to a stream of pretty aromas, with cherry, blue flower and potting soil at the front line. The wine is made with 82% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo and 3% Syrah. The fruit is fermented in stainless steel, and the wine ages in oak for a brief seven months. The effect is streamlined and compact, and the wine's natural freshness gives way to wild cherry, cassis and plum. 2019 - 2026.

The 2016 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous wine that very much captures the essence of the house style. Bright floral and savory notes, sweet red cherry fruit, tobacco and mint are all finely knit in this super-appealing, mid-weight Chianti Classico from Isole e Olena. As always, the Chianti Classico here is lithe, aromatically precise and all about elegance.

Broad, complex, vibrant; plum, black cherry, almond, leather, earth.

Strålende Chianti med skøn kompleks parfume, betagende dybde og pebret harmoni. Båret frem af en sød mineralsk frugt; frugten intens med både jod, kamfer og jern, krydrede dybder og velkalibreret fadkrydderi. Den trykker alle de rigtige steder.
