Coltassala, Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG – 2013

The Wine Advocate

“The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Coltassala is a tame and polished wine that shows an elegant and streamlined disposition. The wine glides cleanly over the palate with bright berry tones followed by wet earth, pressed rose and balsam herb..."

“An extremely soft yet tensioned Chianti Classico with cherry and berry character. Hints of walnut. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish.”

“A soft and velvety wine with chocolate, cedar and berry character. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a fresh finish. Lively and delicious. Love the savory undertone to it.”

"Violet and lilac aromas make way for blackberry and cherry flavors in this detailed, lacy red. Vibrant and well-structured, with a mouthwatering finish permeated by fruit."

"Made of 60% Trebbiano and 40% Malvasia, this opens with acacia honey, ripe Annurca apple and hazelnut aromas that carry over to the vanilla-inflected palate. Don’t dip your cookies in this one; it’s more of a vino da meditazione."

"...The wine displays an earthy, mineral character, mingling notes of crushed gravel and leafy tobacco with flavors of dark chocolate, licorice and spice. The tannins feel firm and a little chunky on the finish..."

“…organically farmed—this polished red opens with aromas of black-skinned fruit, violet and Mediterranean herb. On the full-bodied palate, tobacco and aniseed accent a core of ripe black cherry, while firm tannins provide support.”

“This is tight and dense with so much mushroom, cherry and bark aromas and flavors. Full to medium body, firm tannins and a silky-textured finish. Very fine indeed.”

“Succulent dark cherry, plum, lavender, menthol and French oak are very nicely delineated ... There is lovely depth and juiciness to the fruit, but the Riserva remains very much medium in body. A wine of restraint and polish …”
