Luiano 2021 Chianti Classico, $13.99-$21.99, 91 points, poured a bright cranberry red with a broad meniscus and many legs.
Aromas of perfumed red fruit. black tea, and earth notes were pleasant.
Luiano gave me a dry medium-bodied Chianti with 5% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon each, acidity was bright and crisp, tannins sweet and grainy, flavors were red fruity delicious nuanced with tea, dried cooking herbs, red pepper, and floral notes.
Finished long on the fading palate, hints of iron and eucalyptus with a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my sweet Italian sausage and spaghetti.
The 2021 vintage is surprising great!
