"The 2018 Chianti Classico is fabulous” claims Anthony Galloni, we think he is absoutely correct! This is the best Chianti Classico we have tried in years. Notes of black cherry, plum and dried herbs, Rampolla overdelivers in that it’s “deep, rich and super-expressive…An especially rich style for the year” (Galloni). 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Rampolla is known for the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides structure and enhances intensity.
Bright ruby red color. The bouquet on the nose is intense, with rich cherry and red berry aromas and leafy undertones. On the palate it is silky, balanced, with medium body, refined tanning and a long flavorful finish of blackberry and chocolate. Ideal with red grilled meat, and semi to well-aged cheeses. Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
A wonderful young Chianti Classico with aromas and flavors of black cherries, dark chocolate, wet earth and black truffle. It’s full-bodied with creamy and juicy tannins and a long, flavorful finish.
Black-skinned fruit, new leather, tilled earthy and blue flower aromas mingle with camphor on this fragrant, enticing red. Fresh and savory, the elegant, full-bodied palate doles out ripe black plum, juicy Morello cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside polished tannins that give it a velvety texture. Fresh acidity lends brightness and balance.
