2016 Conte Ferdinando Guicciardini Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Poppiano Belvedere Campoli
This is the top Chianti made by this estate. Purchased at auction. Generally not available in the US. 100% Sangiovese sourced from the hills between Mercatale and Montefiridolfi. Aged in oak for 2 years. From the excellent 2016 vintage in Tuscany. Paired with Cacio e Pepe. A rather rustic Chianti with an earthy profile. The fruit was subdued with notes of burnt cherries and leather. Drink now. 87 points.
