2015 Ca' Di Pesa Chianti Classico Riserva

100% Sangiovese. Fermented in amphora, and aged 24 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. They started using amphora in 2010! 11-year-old vines, redesigned vineyard, just beyond Cafaggio at 424 m. US owner lives here one-third of the year. Good, shaded ruby. Intense, pure Sangiovese nose. Very nice texture and some freshness. Evolved flavours, much better tannin management than some, and a good current drink. (JR)
