Description
Chioccioli `Fossivento` Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy, 2018
Grapes: A blend of 85% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, hand harvested, fermented in steel tanks & terracotta "eggs", aged in French oak for 14 months
Producer Tasting Note:
This top notch Chianti is a wine of extraordinary identity, intense with fruity, floral and spicy notes. Rich with bags of dark summer fruits on the nose, soft and velvety on the palate with just a hint of pepper and spice.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"Blackberries, cherries, oyster shells, dark chocolate and dried herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with silky, supple tannins. Vibrant, with a long, juicy and creamy finish. Drink or hold."
93/100 points, James Suckling, June 2022
Food Match: Chianti classico goes very well with meat dishes such as ossobuco, leg of lamb, lamb chops, roast, wild duck, venison and pizza with meat. As for the cheeses: Chianti Classico fits well with fresh young cheeses or semi-mature cheese and Italian Taleggio.
