James Suckling: 92 Points
Notes of cooked strawberries, red licorice, blood orange and cedar. Medium body. Bright and racy with crunchy acidity and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2021 Chianti Classico is terrific. Bright and vibrnat, with tons of Sangiovese character, the 2021 is everything Chianti Classico should be. Bright red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice, and tobacco are all nicely amplified in this juicy, wonderfully inviting Chianti Classico. The 2021 is one of the best editions of this wine I have tasted recently.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
This is an organic blend of Tuscan native grapes with 90% Sangiovese and tiny percentages of Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. Representing a big production of 147,000 bottles, the 2021 Chianti Classico is accessible and easy-drinking with mild cherry and dried raspberry followed by almond, blue flower and peat moss. Winemaking is very simple, starting off with spontaneous yeast fermentation and brief aging in large oak casks. You get great value, especially in this classic vintage.
Badia a Coltibuono has been a certified organic estate since 2000. It is located in the hilly and thickly forested Monti area in the far south of Gaiole in Chianti where medium-high elevations and a cooler climate shape elegant wines. The focus here is squarely on the indigenous grapes of the region.
