Chianti Classico | Classic

R.S. Chianti Classico DOCG 2018

This Chianti Classico is named in honor of Roberto Stucchi: the color is an intense ruby red, the aroma flatters forest fruits and spicy herbs. In the drink of wonderful smoothness and full-bodied flavor, long-lasting finish. - Gerardo

"The Chianti Classico RS is a major step up from the straight Chiantis in this lineup. Dark red cherries, flowers, tobacco, licorice and mint burst from the glass in this vivacious, expressive wine. I very much like the sense of overall balance and harmony." - Robert Parker

Chianti Classico DOCG 2019

Coltibuono wines can be described as archetypes of Chianti: The diversified bouquet ranges from wild berries to violets and wild flowers. On the palate of marked and deep character with a clear finish. - Gerardo

"An elegant, tannic and harmonious terroir wine of natural character and a deep flavor, which you also offer at an interesting price." - Slow Wine

"The Chianti Classico is a terrific wine and perhaps the best vintage made thus far. The wine opens to a medium dark appearance with pretty layers of wild cherry, redcurrant and mild spice. Badia a Coltibuono always does a great job of expressing the cool and somewhat wild nature of Gaiole in Chianti. This is a blend of 90% Sangiovese with 10% Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. Some 128,000 bottles were made, and this is great news for all you value-wine consumers out there." - Wine Advocate

"Yields for this wine were down a bit due to hail in the spring, but the grapes that remained produced an appealing herb-scented wine with juicy red-berry flavors in a midweight frame. Its lively acidity and dried-thyme notes make your mouth water for tomato-based sauces." - Wine & Spirits

Lively on the palate, with a wiry framework, still seems a bit youthful in tannin, shows clear fruit on the finish, lingers long." - Falstaff

"Leather, fading cherry, spice, woodsy and iron notes highlight this red. Balanced and solidly built, in a traditional style, with a long, densely structured aftertaste. Still on the upswing, and should reach its peak in the next three to five years. Drink now through 2035. 1,750 cases made." - Wine Spectator
