Drink Date: 2023 – 2027
“Showing an immediately light and bright personality, the 2021 Chianti Classico Brolio is an easy blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino. It boasts an attractive, punchy approach with plenty of cherry, blue flower and pressed violet, followed by subtle mineral shadings. The wine is simple, but classic. This is an ample production of 490,000 bottles.” 09/23

The 2021 Chianti Classico is a vibrant, fruity wine ideal for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Sweet floral top notes, spice and cedar lift a core of bright red berry fruit. There’s gorgeous inner sweetness here. Drink this stylish Chianti Classico over the next few years. – By Antonio Galloni on June 2023
