| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by DJ Rooster on 12/2/2023: Notes after a couple of hours decant (and a couple of glasses)
N: Rosemary, bitter almonds, licorice, wood and forest. Aromatic but dark, not much fruit. P: Mouthwatering acidity, fines but very present tannins. Classic, rather tight and gripping Chianti mouthfeel. Now fruits emerges with sour cherries, but darker cherries (think Luxardo Maraschino) before the oak takes over.
A good quality Chianti, albeit a bit tight, with quite a powerful flavor profile without being too dark or jammy in it's fruit (479 views) | | Tasted by EspenK65 on 7/10/2023 & rated 91 points: Veldig flott Chianti classico, lett og fruktig, røde frukter, kirsebær med litt stein, fint lett tanninsnerp i ettersmak.

| Fattoria Nittardi Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se"). Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Vigna Doghessa On weinlagen-infoItaly Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytChianti Consorzio Vino Chianti | Chianti (wikipedia) |
