Chianti Classico comes from the heart of the original Chianti region in Tuscany–and yes, location (as in real estate) matters. Santa Margherita 2014 Chianti Classico brings together 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot/Cabernet to produce complex and authentic aromas and flavors. Think big tannins, earthy cherry/plum flavors. 23.00

Lamole di Lamole 2014 Chianti Classico is 80% Sangiovese, 10% Cab, 10% Merlot comes across with heady aromas, smooth oak, and a mouthful of berries. Classic, indeed. 18.00
