90 Points Wine Spectator
Raspberry, cherry, currant and thyme flavors align with the succulent profile in this vivid red. Iron and tobacco notes add detail as this builds to the long, resonant finish, where dusty tannins reign. Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero and Cabernet Sauvignon.
 
90 Points James Suckling
A  juicy, succulent and vivid red with sour cherries, strawberries and sweet spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy core of delicious red fruit with a vivid finish.
 
90 Points Wine Enthusiast
On the nose, a tart cherry blast pushes up against abundant umami aromas of warm tar, balsamic and damp earth. The palate brings more tart fruit, but also a sweetness from a subtle swirl of chocolate and vanilla. Tannins and acid are refined and composed.
 
Winemaker Notes
Banfi Chianti Classico is a ruby-red color. The bouquet is intense with notes of cherries, plums, and violets. On the palate, rich flavors of cherry and leather. Supple tannins and good acidity. A perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of foods, including red-sauced pastas, grilled meats and roasts.
