Tosco's word
La note Toscane Cachée de 8,0 contre 7,9 est quasi identique, mais la fiabilité moyenne de Carpineta Fontalpino face à la haute de Lilliano creuse un vrai écart. Si tu veux un vin bio, avec une garde de 10 à 15 ans et un prix ramené à 16,69 €, choisis le Chianti Classico DOCG de Carpineta Fontalpino, qui affiche une meilleure note de producteur (8,3) et une typicité légèrement supérieure. En revanche, pour une fiabilité maximale et un faisceau de distinctions plus large (2 stelle Veronelli, 3 bicchieri, 4 grappoli Bibenda), le Lilliano à 18,03 € est plus sûr, avec une polyvalence à table mieux notée (8,1) et un millésime plus récent.
