Hidden Tuscany Rating

Good

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 de Geografico, Sangiovese pur, élevage minimum de 12 mois, noté 90 par James Suckling et proposé à 12,44 € au lieu de 14,38 €. La principale réserve tient à l'absence de précision sur les vendanges et l'agriculture, et à une reconnaissance limitée à une seule distinction.

  • Typicity & terroir25 %7,8

    Appellation Chianti Classico DOCG nommée avec sa zone de production en Toscane et Sangiovese seul cépage, cohérent avec l'appellation ; robe rubis et notes de cerise, spezie, erbe méditerranee.

  • Recognition20 %7,2

    James Suckling 90 est nommé, avec deux rappels 2016 et 2018 ; une seule distinction reconnue, sans niveau de haut rang, donc note modérée.

  • Value for money25 %7,6

    À 12,44 € au lieu de 14,38 €, le prix barré réel est modéré pour un Chianti Classico DOCG millésimé 2021, ce qui place la bouteille sous le prix habituel de son rang.

The wine

Geografico Chianti Classico 2021: The Soul of Tuscany

Let me guide you toward a wine that embodies the quintessence of Tuscany, a bottle that whispers the history of its hills. This Chianti Classico 2021 from the Geografico estate is an invitation to a sensory journey, a promise of authentic and memorable flavors.

A high-altitude terroir, a preserved tradition

Chianti Classico, in the heart of Tuscany, is a mythical appellation, and the Geografico estate is one of its proud representatives. I know that the richness of this wine comes from a winemaking tradition preciously passed down by local winegrowers. The vines, perched at altitude, benefit from an ideal microclimate, and the harvest, between September and October, is the fruit of meticulous and passionate work.

This wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese, the king grape variety of the region. Traditional vinification in steel tanks, with a maceration of about 14 days, allows the full complexity of the aromas to be extracted. Then, malolactic fermentation in cement tanks refines its structure. The aging of at least 12 months gives this Chianti Classico 2021 a remarkable maturity and depth. Its color is an intense ruby red, already announcing its richness. On the nose, you will be charmed by delicate notes of viola mammola, followed by fruity aromas of plum and black cherry, all enhanced by Mediterranean spicy and herbaceous nuances. On the palate, it offers a beautiful balance, with a well-defined tannic structure and a long persistence that invites contemplation.

The perfect pairing for your Tuscan evenings

This Chianti Classico is an ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with red meats, where its tannins will pair wonderfully. It also elevates aged cheeses, especially Tuscan pecorino. Imagine it on your table, accompanying a traditional Tuscan dish, in a friendly and warm atmosphere. It is the perfect wine to celebrate gastronomy and the Italian art of living, a true piece of Tuscany to savor at home.

The detail that distinguishes this Geografico is its malolactic fermentation in cement tanks after 14 days of maceration in steel: a very precise step for this Sangiovese from Chianti Classico. Curious to see how its 12 months of aging shape its notes of viola mammola and black cherry?
