Score 88-89/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2013

The 2011 Chianti Classico is another delicious, entry-level offering. Here the fruit is rich, dark and voluptuous. At the same time, the aromatics have plenty of upper register brilliance. In other words, the 2011 is a wine of balance above all else.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2013

The 2011 Chianti Classico (with 10% Canaiolo) is aged in neutral oak and botte. You really get a sense of Sangiovese here, with playful notes of wild berry and grilled herbs. The mouthfeel is compact, crisp and silky. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Castello di Monsanto makes wines that I buy and drink often. They offer great value and few producers reproduce the beautiful aromas and perfumes of Tuscany as well as Laura Bianchi and her family. Importer: Mionetto US; www.mionettousa.com
