WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The Chianti Classico Riserva “Vigna Barbischio” 2021 by Maurizio Alongi is a refined expression of the Chianti Classico territory. Produced from vineyards with an average age of 30 years, it offers a harmonious balance between structure, aromatic complexity, and freshness, making it ideal for pairing with traditional Tuscan dishes and convivial moments.
Color: Bright ruby red with purple highlights.
Aroma: Scents of small red fruits, pine needles, with ferrous touches and nutmeg, leading to a lively and fragrant sip.
Taste: Complex and harmonious, with a contrast between full-bodied juice, dynamic acidity, and racy tannins, providing structure and persistence.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna Barbischio is a gorgeous, aromatic wine that captures all the cool-toned, savory character of this hillside mountain site. Crushed flowers, herbs, red berry fruit, mint, orange peel and spice are all beautifully lifted in this classy, mid-weight offering from Maurizio Alongi. All the Barbischio needs is a year or two in bottle.
