The 2010 vintage was superb throughout Tuscany, especially in the Chianti Classico region. Astorre Noti has produced a beautifully structured Chianti that has the potential to improve over the next decade or so if cellared properly. With notes of black cherry and red berry on the nose, this Chianti carries that theme onto the palate, where bright acidity lifts the fruit. Firm, chalky tannins confirm the aging potential.
