The Pagliarese 2019 Chianti Classico is a bright and simple expression with pretty notes of earth, blue flower and Mediterranean herb or lavender essence. The wine reveals a slim, lean-bodied approach with well-dosed acidity on the close. This vintage shows some extra concentration with candied cherry and blackcurrant on the finish.

The 2019 Chianti Classico is fresh, vibrant and wonderfully nuanced. Sweet dried cherry, mint, pipe tobacco, cedar and dried herbs lend aromatic intensity to this decidedly savory Chianti Classico. This is an especially distinctive, old-school style.

A blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Mammolo, this fragrant red offers heady scents of dark spice, forest berries and eucalyptus. On the straightforward palate, lithe, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity accompany black cherry, orange zest and star anise. Drink through 2024.
