3 Bicchieri 2020

Premiato con 90 punti

This wine comes from Frescobaldi's new estate in Gaiole in Chianti. The Chianti Classico is a wine with a firm backbone and bright acidity (the vines are planted over 550 meters above sea level, and you taste lots of crispness as a result). This Chianti Classico is composed of 90% Sangiovese and other red grapes, including Merlot, Colorino, Canaiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Beyond the bright cherry and wild berry aromas are elegant mineral tones of granite and flint. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in new and neutral oak.

This shows beautiful energy and brightness with black-cherry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Tight and focused. Drink now.

Subtle aromas suggesting camphor, French oak, purple flower and star anise form the nose. Firmly structured and linear, the elegant, savory palate evokes Marasca cherry, licorice and orange zest alongside fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE

A beautiful expression of ripe black cherry, black currant and violet notes, accented by graphite, tobacco and tar hints. Shows muscle, with some grip on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2030. 2,000 cases imported. — BS
