Chianti Wine

Nottola Vigne del Fattore (Vino Nobile de Montepulciano) 2001 (#)

„Just about everyone has tried Chianti, the Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese.  Italian wine enthusiasts (myself included) rave over Brunello, another Tuscan wine made from the Brunello clone of Sangiovese grown in the subdistrict of Montalcino.  But very few Americans are tuned into wines from the Tuscan region of Montepulciano (south of Chianti and Montalcino).  This is a shame, because the area is producing wines of character and interest these days ...“

A Household Wine, Revisited (#)

„Newer winemaking techniques from a younger generation of enologists “ including reducing crop yields, later harvesting, and aging in French oak barrels “ have put a polish on Chianti that it hadn™t seen in decades.

„The story here is that the producer was ready to age the wine in barrel but stopped and aged it in stainless steel tank instead. The action resulted in a wine too light in color to carry the Chianti DOC but the wine in the bottle is a star, with surprisingly vigorous tannins. 13.5% alcohol.“

„From last month NYC Wine Club™s event, I picked what was my best bottle of Chianti ever. Quality level in the category is going down so this bottle was a standout. The winery is Roccadelle Macie, owned by a retired boxer, and the bottled is coming from a single vineyard; Saint Alfonso.“

„The practice of adding white grapes to the Chianti blend has, thankfully, all but disappeared; the last twenty or so years has seen Sangiovese find a new partner - Cabernet Sauvignon - and when this marriage works, as it often does, the resultant wines are usually excellent and, occasionally, truly great.“
