"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Peppery, concentrated and a little brooding on the nose. Gorgeous, succulent fruit with firm, gravelly tannins. Lots of stuffing, yet not heavy. Not ready yet; right now it is a bit of a rough diamond. 17.5/20.... Read More

I Fabbri, Chianti Classico Riserva, 2019

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Peppery, concentrated and a little brooding on the nose. Gorgeous, succulent fruit with firm, gravelly tannins. Lots of stuffing, yet not heavy. Not ready yet; right now it is a bit of a rough diamond. 17.5/20. 2026-2036", Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com, 13th April 2023.

100% old vine Sangiovese Grosso: a selection from the first-picked grapes given a year in 500l. barrels. Pale tone. Initial impression is of ripe cherries – and then the aromatics kick in and this flowers in the mouth. So much volume. Can be enjoyed now but will benefit from keeping. A treat. Now-2029

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.
