I Collazzi - Chianti Classico I Bastioni 2022 (750ml)

Decaanter 90 points

"The estate’s Chianti Classico vineyards are at the northern limit of the zone, in the warm district of San Casciano. For the annata, a dash of Malvasia Nera is co-fermented with Sangiovese, while the Merlot is vinified separately. Aged in third-passage French oak barriques, it is polished and polite. Aromas are discreet yet attractive, ranging from cedar and garden herbs to cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is plush with blueberry pie and fresh blackberry flavours, tapering off quickly with a pop of vanilla. Gentle tannins are nestled in."
