The 2020 Chianti Classico Vallenuova (with 30,000 bottles made) is a medium-bodied blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo that ages in oak botte for 10 months. Truth be told, this wine performs with almost clockwork consistency vintage after vintage. This edition is slightly on the riper side, but the differences are minimal. Dark cherry and blackberry are followed by cigar ash, crushed flower and warm earth.
