Coltassala 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG

A more restrained Coltassala and, as far as we’re concerned, all the better for it. What a nose, from the very beginning here, with crushed violets, pressed lavender, bilberries, fresh sage and basil, licorice and crushed stones. Medium body, bright and very energetic acidity and layers of finely wrought tannins. All about the vibrant fruit and driven acidity. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

Seit 1998 wird dieser reinsortige Sangiovese aus dem gleichnamigen Rebberg gekeltert: opulente Nase auf Noten von roten Waldfrüchten, Veilchen und Gewürzen: präzise am Gaumen, hervorra- gend engmaschige Tannine, fein eingebundene Säure, der Abgang eine fruchtige Punktlandung

Piercing aromas of black currant, blackberry, violet and stone are augmented by earth, tobacco and underbrush flavors. A powerful red, with a muscular structure and a long finish. All the elements are there, but this needs time. Sangiovese and Mammolo. Best from 2023 through 2040. 1,833 cases made, 200 cases imported. — BS

Sattes Rubin mit dunklem Kern. Kompakte Nase mit satten Noten nach reifen, dunklen Kirschen, etwas Himbeere und Brombeere, schönes Spiel. Rund und sehr geschliffen am Gaumen, präsente Kirschfrucht, öffnet sich mit viel feinmaschigem Tannin, sehr elegant und lang.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Coltassala (made from a blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Mammolo) is a beautifully primed and enriched red wine that offers all the basics—and does so in impeccable style. The bouquet shows black fruit, spice and tilled earth. All the aromas are on the dark and savory side, however the wine remains, fresh, tight and buoyant and very linear. It makes you want to try out a local tripe recipe: trippa alla Fiorentina or even the slow-cooked lampredotto alla Fiorentina. Some 12,000 bottles were made.

Rubino molto intenso. Fine e complesso con una particolare nota di rabarbaro, poi ribes, amarena, accenni di resina e di vaniglia. Sapore teso e deciso, con tannini fitti e fini, elegante, agile e moltoraffinato nel finale.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Coltassala is classy and refined from start to finish. Sweet red cherry, mint, chalk, flowers and blood orange add a very appealing upper register. New oak gives the Coltassala a modern touch, without completely overpowering the wine.

Herber, fester, leicht getrocknet-pflanzlicher Duft nach schwarzen Beeren und Kirschen mit zart floralen und kräuterigen Nuancen sowie gewürzigen Holzanklängen. Klare, herb-saftige, bei aller Kraft eher kühl wirkende und frische Frucht, etwas Biss, straffes, jugendliches, sehr feines Tannin, kräuterige und tabakige Nuancen im Hintergrund, salzige mineralische Töne, gute Tiefe, recht komplex, sehr guter, herb-saftiger und würziger, straffer Abgang. Darf reifen. https://www.wein-plus.it/best-of-chianti-classico-2019-e-lalta-capacita-dei-produttori/

French oak, grilled herb, coconut and spiced plum aromas lead the nose. The firm, youthfully austere palate offers prune, coconut, star anise and roasted coffee bean framed in tightly wound fine-grained tannins. Drink 2024–2036. Kerin O’Keefe
