Cecchi Chianti Classico Storia di Famiglia 2022 750ml

Expert Notes

James Button writes:  This Chianti Classico is 90% Sangiovese with 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vibrant cherry and darker berry aromas are joined by a touch of mint. The palate is really bright, textural and succulent, with a lick of wood and some slightly muted hedgerow fruits which should reveal themselves once the oak has had a chance to settle.  Drinking 2025 to 2028.  - Decanter Magazine

Bruce Sanderson writes:  Cherry, earth and tobacco flavors are expressive, supported by a dense, solid structure. This red is also fleshy, with lively acidity driving its long finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2035.

Walter Speller writes:  Castellina. 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cask sample.

Dark, maturing ruby. Brooding nose with minerally, spicy touches. Bags of sour-cherry fruit followed by slightly drying tannins. A little simple.  Drinking 2024 to 2028.  - Jancis Robinson  15.5
