The Wine
Such has been the demand for Chianti over the last half century, the region has expanded way beyond it original centre. This seminal zone is now called Chianti Classico and here the finest wines are made. The Taddei family’s medium sized fattoria (wine estate, not factory!) makes wine from its own 28 hectares of Sangiovese vines. All bottles proudly bear the ‘Gallo Nero’ (black rooster) symbol unique to wines from the Classico zone. The 2013 vintage is considered ‘classic’ due to a great summer and late autumn harvest. After a year in French oak and time in bottle, the wine is ready now. Complex notes of ripe berries and spice with a fresh finish make it ideal with classic Italian cuisine such as wild mushroom risotto or saltimbocca.
Such has been the demand for Chianti over the last half century, the region has
A lovely, ripe, full-flavoured Chianti with lots of cherry flavour on the palate. 5 Stars
