Villa Arceno Villa Arceno Chianti Classico Riserva, Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

Farven meget tæt og dyb. Sortrød med en brunlig tone. Klar men ikke brillant nok pga tætheden. Duften pæn åben, lækker med masser af frugtsødme og bitterkerne. Har tydelig urter og stald. En smule bitterhed. Rigtig dejlig med en tilpas modenhed, så man rigtig kan fornemme kompleksiteten. Smagen god stor krop med en god syre og noget tannin. Frugten er begyndt at tørre lidt ud. Har en stor koncentration og den fylder flot. Lang eftersmag, som også er lidt udtørrende. …

I saw the 90 pt rating. (Thanks.) So I bought one to try. Best Chianti I've had, but I haven't had many. Scent of strawberry and a little white wine yeastiness upon opening. The yeastiness dissipates quickly. The wine benefits from 30 minutes of air. Light on the tongue. Bright red fruit, strawberry, and acid up front, but with some lingering dark fruit depth on the finish. 90-92 pts. My wife likes a good Chianti. She said she would drink …

Annata migliore tra quelle provate in verticale (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018).

Pop and pour with spaghetti and meatballs. Ripe fruits and herbs on the nose. A bit overripe but nice chewy tannins. Almost a little too astringent, forward acid. Decent finish. Definitely a bit on the sweet side for Chianti. Reasonable weeknight pizza/pasta wine. What I would expect from a $12 Chianti, nothing more.

Decanted for 30 min. Nice fruit and not over oaked. A little spicy. Dry but not as bone dry as other Classico’sthat I’ve had.

14% abv. Very good Chianti Classico for $13. Fairly round and ripe style with plenty of wood and leather tones. Pretty simple, but easy to drink.

A little bitter
