Note di degustazione
The 2008 Chianti Classico is all class and elegance. Sweet red cherries, tobacco and herbs come together nicely in the glass. This shows excellent juiciness for the vintage and considerable textural finesse. It is an immensely pleasing glass of wine.

80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo, 5% Syrah. Cask sample. Oenologist Paolo de Marchias. Medium-deep ruby. Forthright, open and fruit driven nose with immediate appeal. Quite pure red fruit palate too, pushed further by juice acidity, well balanced with persistent but fine tannins. Closes up on the finish, but shows great potential. Being one of the undisputed leaders, one can only wonder why do they persist in adding Syrah to the blend, especially when Sangiovese seems to be in such knowledgeable hands? (WS)
Informazioni sul produttore
Situata a nord di Castellina, sul versante occidentale del Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena, fondata dalla famiglia De Marchi negli anni ’50, è oggi uno dei nomi di riferimento della regione. Celebre per il suo Cepparello, Sangiovese in purezza, e per l’elegante Chardonnay.
