Chianti Classico Castellare di Castellina 2020 (750ML)

91 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "“The 2020 Chianti Classico is a fragrant, mid-weight wine that will be impossible to resist right out of the gate given its freshness and purity of fruit. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, white pepper, spice, and mint are nicely lifted in this engaging Chianti Classico from Castellare. This is a terrific set of wines from proprietor Paolo Panerai and longtime winemaker Alessandro Cellai. I especially admire the 2020 Chianti Classico, another excellent wine from this young vintage, for its classicism and transparency.” 06/22

97 points, Luca Gardini, Gardininotes.com: “An extraordinary Classico, a milestone for the appellation from Castellare. Only seven months of ageing in barrique, it recalls alcohol-infused cherries and caper berries on the nose. To the palate offers its mineral note, but 97 above all its roundness. Perfectly combined tannins for a juicy persistence.” 06/22
