Chianti Classico

Hit not just with peronospora but also hail, the Rossi family kept only the best grapes to make this annata, foregoing their Riserva and Gran Selezione bottlings. Sangiovese is supported mainly by Ciliegiolo with a dash of both Canaiolo and Colorino. It opens slowly with dusty nuances giving way to mint, vanilla and tar. The palate is concentrated with tart bramble berries and generously extracted tannins. Angular in shape, it finishes with dry wood tannins and perhaps needs some time to sort itself out.
