 Tasted by mcromain1021 on 2/24/2024 & rated 91 points: Very nice Chianti. Popped and poured. Dark and red fruits are prominent. Typical Sangiovese notes with reasonable tannins. Rampolla is a top notch producer and this wine shows well and will continue to do so for several years. (244 views)
 Tasted by mark_k on 2/22/2024 & rated 90 points: Everything you want from Chianti Classico. Vibrant dark raspberry with crisp acidity and plenty of grip. Will last many years but already drinking nicely. 13.5% (298 views)
 Tasted by Joshvoulters on 2/21/2024 & rated 91 points: Quite a lot of Chianti (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Really good. Saturated dark cherry, spicy oak, violet, vanilla: contained but deep. Clearly of breeding from a quality producer - a contrast of high toned perfume with fruit depth. Subtly concentrated on the palate with a bitter edge, fine tannins. (488 views)
 Tasted by Bob H on 2/19/2024: The 2nd time I've tried this particular vintage, and if you like bright red fruit & acidity on a lighter-bodied chassis, this might be the CC for you. Sweet & sour cherry on the palate, this is very pleasant and a real food friendly wine. (423 views)
 Tasted by nschmidt on 1/14/2024 & rated 87 points: I bought a variety of $30 Chiantis recently and have tried 4 of them. The other 3 were delicious but this tasted like a cheap $8 bottle. Hopefully just an off bottle. (531 views)
 Tasted by Bob H on 12/29/2023: Not a producer that I tend to buy, but this is very nice. Bright acidity and sweet/ripe red fruit. Pretty delicious 🍷👍 (394 views)
 Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 8/7/2023 & rated 92 points: This is so lively and brimming with energy and good vibes. Very well-tuned fresh cherries, structured body and well-balanced throughout. 13.5% alc (640 views)
 Tasted by Nairb Øjram on 6/7/2023 & rated 92 points: Farven flot gennemsigtig, lidt violet. Lidt gardiner. Meget klar. Skinner lidt, man kan se bunden. Duften lidt lukket. Den har mørke bær og man kan godt fornemme at det ikke er ren sangiovese. Det er solbær. Også noget sødme. Mint og lidt støvet sangiovese bagved. Smagen meget ung med tydelig blå frugt. Syren dominerer lige nu og den er lidt lukket. Tannin på tænderne. God stor krop og en god frugt. Ikke den helt store koncentration. Kan tydelig fornemme at den er lidt Medoc-like. Pæn lang eftersmag. Skal ligge. Ikke rigtig Chianti i min optik (546 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.
