I Fabbri, Chianti Classico, Terra di Lamole, 2020
"Delicious, all-the-boxes-ticked Chianti Classico. New leather, sour cherries, liquorice and thyme. The gently powdery, supple, sensuous tannins suck on the fruit, pulling it from sweetness and audaciously charming red-berry friendliness into Chianti classic sour reds and savouriness. Mouth-watering and vigorous. Tingling with joyous life." 17/20, 2024-2027, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 1st December 2023
90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, about half in cement and half in French oak.
Soft, rose petal-like hue. Such an appealing scent – cherries and red berries. Classic sour cherry character, with just a little of that Sangiovese savouriness peeping out already. Supporting tannins there. Very aromatic, all the way to a very long finish. Now-2028
Susanna Grassi continues to produce exemplary high-altitude Chianti Classico at I Fabbri, which has been in her family for 11 generations. In the Lamole subzone of Greve, it’s one of the highest in Chianti Classico: here about 450-680m. of altitude brings genuine freshness to the wines. These wines are crafted in a traditional style - and as such they age gracefully - but Susanna is also dedicated to organic cultivation, and we think that brings an unusual purity and transparency to the fruit.
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
