I Fabbri, Chianti Classico Riserva, 2021
100% old vine Sangiovese Grosso: a selection from the first-picked grapes given a year in 500l. barrels. Darker tone. Again a classic I Fabbri nose of pretty black cherries, red fruit and flowers. More stuffing and depth here with richer, concentrated black cherry and bramble notes. A hint of very posh balsamic in there too. Savoury spice on the finish. Oaked but not oaky at all. Parpadelle with a game sauce (hare!) would be superb. Super refined and elegant. Angels dancing on a pin. Headily aromatic. 2026-2034
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
