92 AG. "The 2016 Chianti Classico is powerful and intense, especially within the context of a year that producer lighter, more aromatic wines. Then again, we are in Panzano, where the wines have a natural breadth to them. The 2016 at Ca' di Pesa is very pretty, but it also needs time to develop aromatic complexity. Even so, the purity of the fruit here is striking. Vivid and nuanced, the 2016 is a gorgeous and distinctive wine from Ca' di Pesa. Don't miss it. Located in Panzano's Conca d'Oro, Ca' di Pesa is one of the most intriguing small estates in Tuscany. This year, I especially liked the straight 2016 Chianti Classico, which is a wine of real distinction." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Jul 2018 |
