The 2015 Chianti Classico is a bright and convincing wine Barberino Val dElsa, one of the main comuni in the greater Chianti Classico appellation. This is a smooth and silky Sangiovese that glides clean over the palate with strength and intensity. Bright cherry, blueberry and herbal accents with wild sage and rosemary characterize the finish. Like many other wines the 2015 vintage, there is an evident touch of cherry sweetness on the close.
