Antonio Galloni, June 2023, Score: 90
The 2021 Chianti Classico is a very beautiful, elegant wine. Sweet floral notes open first, followed by a burst of ripe red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint and rose petal. This mid-weight, classy Chianti Classico is a winner. Drink 2023-2030

Region
Chianti Classico
There are seven zones within the Chianti appellation, though its centre, Chianti Classico is themost famous. The appellation regulations require that Sangiovese must make up at least 75% of theblend (many wines are 100%); however smaller percentages of native and non-native varieties, suchas Canaiolo, Colorino and Cabernet Sauvignon, are also permitted. The denomination of Riservaindicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvée andrequires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.
