Tosco's word

Le Brunello di Montalcino 2019 de Camigliano et le Chianti Classico 2021 de Fontodi sont à égalité de note (8,0) et de prix (31 €), mais ils ne s'adressent pas tout à fait aux mêmes envies. Le Camigliano est un Sangiovese Grosso élevé au moins 5 ans, idéal si tu cherches une appellation de référence pour un repas de viande rouge ou de gibier, avec un prix moins élevé que son rang habituel. Le Fontodi, bio et élevé 12 mois minimum, convient mieux à qui veut un rouge plus souple et fruité pour accompagner les fromages et les plats du quotidien, avec une reconnaissance tout aussi solide. Le dossier du Chianti ne rattache pas explicitement ses distinctions à ce millésime 2021, ce qui pèse un peu dans la balance.
