CASTELLO DEI RAMPOLLA Chianti Classico 2017 $37 (92 points)

Almond and chestnut notes accent the cherry flavors in this broad, tannic red. Features ample fruit, while a sweetness returns at the end, suggesting that this will achieve equilibrium with time. Leather, earth and iron elements add depth. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2032.
