Chianti Classico, Bolgheri, and Montalcino, a 2022 Tuscan tour

Drank in left to right order. Each bottle is similarly priced.

Bottles at Eataly rooftop, with proper decanting.

Forgive my lack of super detailed notes, given this was a lunch with friends.

MastroJanni Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Surprisingly approachable Rosso.

Needs some more time, but easy-drinking with cherry and herbal notes.

On the palate, a tiny bit thin, but enjoyable anyway.

89 points.

Castello di Ama Chianti Classico AMA 2022

My favorite Chianti producer, but surprisingly, this is my first time trying their entry level Chianti. I already know how much I love their CCGS and L'Apparita.

You can tell this is Sangiovese grown at an elevation, even at this level.

Red cherry, blueberry notes, but also some rosemary.

This was very enjoyable, but at $35, I'd rather upgrade to the San Lorenzo, which is a Gran Selezione, for $60

90 points.

Il Bruciato 2022

This was the consensus favorite at the table.

More dark cherry and dark plum, with some slight thyme notes.

This is enjoyable and a good taste of the Guado Al Tasso, but more approachable at a young age.

90 points.
