Lots of vivid raspberry, blueberry and currant aromas and flavors to this. Really pure fruit. It’s medium-bodied with soft, silky tannins and a fruity finish. Really well done, as always. Drink or hold.

he 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio a'Frati is a heady, expressive wine that is just showing a hint of its potential. More than anything else, I am impressed with the wine's energy and vibrancy, which was a bit hard to come by in 2017. Bright, saline notes lift a core of sweet red berry fruit, chalk, white pepper, mint, sage and dried flowers. The flavors are so vivid in this super eloquent Riserva from Rocca di Castagnoli.

Bright cherry and raspberry fruit is the signature of this tightly wound red. Mineral, tobacco and rosemary accents add depth, and the vibrant structure keeps it all defined. Beautifully balanced and long, echoing the ripe fruit. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Best from 2023 through 2037. 4,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio a'Frati is a complex, beguiling wine. Macerated red cherry, rose petal, tangerine oil, spice and crushed flowers make a strong opening statement. Beams of tannin give the 2019 its shape and overall energy. It will be interesting to see if this softness at all. Today, it is more brute power than finesse.
