Castello di Albola Chianti Classico 2016
Tuscany, ItalyA solid, textbook Chianti Classico for a very fair price, from the well-received 2016 vintage. You'll find typical sangiovese cherry, sandlewood, pizza spice and a charming bergamot florality that is a classic Radda signature. It's expansive in the mouth, with sturdy red and black fruit, a savoury fennel seed aspect, and plenty of nicely raspy acidity. The tannins are quite firm but finely textured and clad in plummy fruit which helps elongate the finish. Four-square in a very good way, and will prop up a nice winter braise of earthy beans, or short ribs.Tasted: 14 September 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
