POINTS
The 2006 Chianti Classico (100% Sangiovese) is truly beautiful as it opens up in the glass, revealing tons of fruit in the powerful, ripe style that is typical of Castelnuovo. The wine possesses tons of stuffing and richness yet maintains notable clarity. Not only is this Chianti Classico a superb value, it can also challenge wines costing twice as much. Needless to say, it is highly recommended.
Wine Advocate
90
POINTS
Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a vanila, milk chocolate and blackberry character. Long and very rich.
