Basilica Cafaggio, Vendemmia 2022 Chianti Classico DOCG, $14.44-$18.99, 91 points, poured a deep clear ruby red with a silvery meniscus and copious clear legs.
Aromas of cinnamon, plums, cherry fruit, hint of milk chocolate, and a floral vibe were verdant.
This was an unusual Chianti Classico in that it was full-bodied and quite soft upfront, but intense warm peppers and firm tannins started to grip and magnify the 13% alcohol and rich flavors of the nose with mint and a hint of eucalyptus.
Finished long on the trailing palate, black pepper, and mint.
Paired perfectly with our cheese pizza.
