 Tasted by EllisWine on 3/13/2013 & rated 90 points: really nice chianti perfect with tomatoes and pasta (3212 views)
 Tasted by SimonSays on 9/7/2012 & rated 85 points: the 2010 is already well drinkable and very pleasant. Nevertheless it's no comparison to the 2006, which was outstanding. It is rather light and not as full-bodied with slight traces of nuts, and the cherries seem a little less black... (3475 views)
 Tasted by quaglia on 2/20/2012 & rated 85 points: Anteprima Chianti Classico (45 TN inside!!) (Firenze - Stazione Leopolda): Fruity at nose..also if a bit...dusty. Nice, full body in mouth. Good persistence, almost "peppery".
12 months in big barrels. [AiS 80-84/2012] (4725 views)
 Tasted by vespasian on 1/31/2012 & rated 91 points: Classic, understated nose; lovely palate with great fruit. A really excellent Chianti. Smooth. (3749 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
