Strawberry and cherry on the nose. Nice ruby color with moderate legs. Medium mouth feel. Dark berries and mineral on the palate. Tart, slightly spicy medium finish.

Not a brilliant wine by any means, but this was a really decent half-bottle to have over lunch. The nose was classic Chianti, with strawberries, dried earth and brush herbs. The palate was better with food than without, rounding out into gobs of fresh strawberries and red cherries seasoned with more herb and spice - all very high-toned, with bright tomato acidity. A touch rustic on the tannins and bright acid, but this made it really food friendly. Still needs a bit more time in the bottle I think, but this was a simple but pleasant Chianti. Definitely a good wine, but exactly what you would want in a Chianti Classico at this level.

Pnp, the cork, which cork? This one is a mess! If you store this bootle closed with a wood pellet low class cork you soon will get problems, but an "entry level" Chianti Classico is best young or with a short maturity, then like this bottle there is this classic acidic tension paired with this mouthfilling refreshing sour cherry, Badia a Coltibuono is still using the old varietal Cananiolo in the Sangiovese Cuvee of this Chianti Classico, very good appearance, a perfect food wine! Very good QPR at about 13€ per bottle, **-(***), 88- 89+ potential
