Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico “Cultus Boni” 2009




80 percent Sangioveto grapes, with small doses of Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Mammolo and black Malvasia.
Ruby enough load, starts with a warm nose and little else. Waiting for an half-hour and the alcohol perception slows, so there emerges, discreetly, the fruit - cherry, plum and orange - with some purple embroidery and a delicate balsamic note.
The palate sees the return, important and influential, of the alcohol weight, which shortens, concretely, the expressiveness of the sip.
Not convinced, I grant him a second pass in the evening, with the mouth that has improved significantly. Now there is more freshness, that oversees and regulates, the peaks of the alcohol content. Consequently, the sip found its fruity, floral and even spicy size, although the structure remains massive.
