Tosco's word
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.
