I don't buy Castellare Chianti for the wine labels, those are lovely ribbons on beautiful packages.
Okay, I review what seems to be a bias towards Italian wines, and that has a few good reasons: largest wine producing country, availability, and great wines.
Castellare 2021 Chianti Classico (DOCG), $18.69-$23.99, 93 points, poured a bright ruby red with amber highlights, moderately stained legs and clear meniscus.
Aromas of softly perfumed red cherry, whispers of tar and tea, nuanced the herbaceous character of this wonderful 2021 Chianti Classico showing bright acidity, angular mouthfeel with grainy tannins, and luscious flavors adorned with warm pepper spices.
Finished long on the trailing palate, hints of mint and iron, and a spot-on 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my loaded Giuseppe's pizza.
