Note di degustazione
The 2013 Chianti Classico shows all the signature traits of the Badia a Coltibuono winemaking style. The wine shows a good sense of inner elegance and poise with cassis, red currant, spice, cola and rosemary twig. This is one of the most beautiful properties in Tuscany with wild forests and unexplored bush at its perimeters. The wine shows fine tannins and a silky style. This base Chianti Classico is alway a great value buy, but you get even more bang for you buck thanks to the balanced 2013 vintage.

The 2013 Chianti Classico comes across as a bit eccentric, largely owing to its high-toned aromatics, sweet, candied flavor profile and angular tannins. Freshly cut flowers and hard candy are some of the signatures. Drink this mid-weight Chianti Classico over the next few years.
There were two cask samples provided which will eventually be blended to make the finished wine. The score given is an average of the two wines and may not be representative of the finished blend. Sample 1 Gaiole – Pale ruby with orange tinges. Pronounced oatmeal nose wrapping up aromatic red fruit and orange blossom. Surprisingly lightweight palate with a lingering and quite tannic finish. Could have done with a little more concentration, but has complexity as well as an amazing nose. (WS) Score 16+ Drink 2015-18 Sample 2 Castelnuovo Berardenga - Just mid ruby. More power and ripeness on the nose than the Gaiole version, and with elegance and bite on the palate. Densely tannic and typical for Castelnuovo and will secure a bright future too, but still needs integrating. Great length, yet still a little closed for the moment. (WS) Score 17 Drink 2015-20
