Note di degustazione
The 2006 Chianti Classico is especially round in this vintage. The wine shows gorgeous transparency in its perfumed fruit, sweet herbs and flowers, with excellent persistence and a long, refined finish. As always, this is a fresh Chianti with plenty of verve, and it will offer its most enjoyable drinking at the dinner table.

The 2006 Chianti Classico is especially round in this vintage.

As always, this is a fresh Chianti with plenty of verve, and it will offer its most enjoyable drinking at the dinner table. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014. Proprietor Paolo De Marchi is one of Tuscany’s most inspired growers. As is often the case, the wines are very strong across the board.

Bright ruby with some orange reflexes. Meaty, savoury nose. Sweet fruit attack, immediately followed by refreshing acidity. Persistent, crunchy tannins in a long, succulent fruit finish. Impressive. (WS)
Cherry, violet, redcurrant, chocolate and savoury spice. Very smooth with excellent balance. (RH)
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.
