90pts Rated 2016 Carobbio Chianti Classico

Experience Tuscan Elegance: Carobbio Chianti Classico 2016

Savor the authentic spirit of Tuscany with this beautifully crafted Chianti Classico 2016 from the esteemed Carobbio estate. Crafted entirely from Sangiovese grapes grown in the heart of Italy’s most celebrated region, this award-winning red wine captures the essence of a superb vintage.

Upon pouring, enticing aromas of violet blossoms, ripe black-skinned berries, and hints of sun-warmed Mediterranean herbs rise from the glass. The palate is a vibrant cascade of flavor – think succulent black cherry, bright raspberry, and subtle notes of cassis, elegantly layered with nuances of star anise, clove, and a touch of white pepper. Celebrated by critics with 90 points from both Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast, its hallmark is a beautifully integrated structure: lifted acidity provides freshness and verve, while velvety tannins create an exceptionally smooth, silky finish.

This well-priced Italian red wine is the epitome of food-friendliness. Its bright character and balanced structure make it the perfect pairing for classic Italian dishes, especially rich pasta like ‘all gricia’ featuring guanciale and pecorino cheese. It also complements grilled meats and aged cheeses superbly.

Enjoy this expression of Tuscan Sangiovese now for its vibrant fruit and charm, or cellar it confidently through 2025 as its complexity continues to develop. Discover why the outstanding 2016 vintage shines in this accessible yet sophisticated bottle from Carobbio – a true taste of Chianti Classico excellence at 14% alcohol.
