2009 Toscolo Chianti DOCG Santa Lucia, Tuscany $20

One of the best value Chianti’s that I’ve tasted in a while.

This 100% Sangiovese is cherry red in the glass with aromas of tobacco and cola. The palate is supple, full of fruit flavour and oozes with ‘drink me now’. The silky tannins on this little star make it the perfect accompaniment to loads of different food, this Chianti is a perfect guest at your dinner table any night of the week.

Robert Parker on the 2009- 86 points – Just a note 2009 is an excellent, perhaps an even outstanding vintage for Chianti Classico.

Robert Parker on the 2008.-“The 2008 Chianti is a delicious wine for the money. This fresh, vinous Chianti flows from the glass with bright dark red fruit and flowers in an engaging, plump style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. Toscolo is a good source for tasty Chiantis made in an overt, fruit-driven style.”
