Chianti Classico DOCG – 2010 – 90 points – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
90 points
“Very intense purple-ruby color. Plum, blackcurrant and inky herbs on the nose. Suave and dense on the palate, with juicy flavors of small black forest berries offering excellent clarity and cut. The long finish shows a beautiful mouthwatering quality, with harmonious acids that really extend the flavor. One of the most successful Volpaia Chiantis in recent memory. Still, although I realize that Chianti allows up to 20% other grapes in the blend, I feel it’s a shame to see sangiovese-based wines with this sort of deep purple hue.”
