Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore 2011
Tuscany, ItalyNew winery? More care? Better fruit? Take your pick, Antinori continues to up the ante at the entry level. Love the red/darker fruit nose with raspberries and blueberries competing for your attention. Balanced, simple, supple and sophisticated for the price. Just enough savoury, resiny, sangiovese character mixed with merlot (95/5) to keep the tension perfect for food. Supple, satiny finish.
