Wines of Colli Senesi & Crete, compared head to head

Tosco If you're looking for an organic Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG without breaking the bank, the Camigliano at 10.07 € is the logical choice: with a score of 7.9 versus 7.5 for La Lastra, it offers better value for money thanks to its clearly specified organic certification, whereas La Lastra at 16.27 € only mentions poorly documented organic practices and no distinction. For a higher budget and the 2023 vintage, La Lastra remains decent, but its food pairings are less detailed and its average reliability doesn't help; Camigliano therefore wins for everyday drinking. If the absence of awards doesn't bother you, you get the cheapest and the best rated.

Tosco If organic certification and overall score matter most, the Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG from Camigliano, at 10.07 € per 75 cl, wins with its score of 7.9, high reliability, a producer criterion at 8.7 and its Typicity Mention at 8.6. For a small format or a tighter budget, the Tenuta Casabianca, in 37.5 cl at 8.16 €, remains well placed with its vegan profile, but its average reliability and lower scores (7.4 overall, value for money at 7.2 for 16.32 € per 75 cl) limit it to occasional use. If you want a solid and verified value for money, choose Camigliano; if it's for an occasional tasting or a half-bottle test, the Tenuta Casabianca may suffice.

Tosco The Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG from Camigliano stands out with a score of 7.9 versus 7.3 for Fattoria del Cerro, thanks to its typicity (8.6) and its producer (8.7): you get organic certification, 6 months of aging and a profile of red fruit, spices and floral notes. The Fattoria del Cerro, at 9.89 €, offers longer aging (12 months) and a Sangiovese-Merlot blend, but its average reliability and the absence of organic certification or distinction make it less certain. If you want a reliable purchase with a clear terroir, choose Camigliano; for a compromise with more pronounced aging and a few euros less, Fattoria del Cerro may suit you, but without any guarantee of recognition.

Tosco The Toscane Cachée score of 7.9 versus 7.3 gives the advantage to the Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG from Camigliano, thanks to a more pronounced typicity (8.6), better versatility at the table (8.2) and high reliability, whereas Geografico shows average reliability. Its profile of red fruit, spices and floral notes with a minimum aging of 6 months and the organic certification make it ideal if you want a supple and accessible wine, to serve with pasta or cheeses. The 2020 Riserva from Geografico, with its 24 months of aging, a slightly lower price (9.56 €) and more robust pairings (game), appeals to those who prioritize structure and age, even though its lack of awards and details on practices limits its score.

Tosco The Toscane Cachée score is identical at 7.3 for both, but the Chianti Riserva Colli Senesi DOCG from Geografico stands out with slightly higher typicity (7.8 versus 7.6) thanks to its 100% Sangiovese and aging of at least 24 months, versus 12 months for the Chianti Colli Senesi from Fattoria del Cerro. The value for money favors the latter (7.8 versus 7.6) with its price of 9.89 € versus 9.56 € for the Riserva, a minimal gap that does not offset the difference in aging. For a simple, immediate meal, choose the Fattoria del Cerro; for red meat or game with more structure, the Geografico, vintage 2020, is an obvious choice.
