Excellent line up of Chianti Classico. I had the opportunity to taste many 2008 with the Consorzio of Chianti classico and they were great. aromatic with floral character and vibrant fruit and acidity, always showing the earthy components. Thank you for sharing this article Tim , I love chianti classico and this information opened up my understanding of the region and its wines.

Tim~ You didn't mention the second bottle from the left, Vignamaggio Mona Lisa Reverva I believe from the look of the

label. Interesting.

Quite a project, thanks for sharing Tim. I wonder if any growers, thru clonal selection and replantings on their own, already had high %'s of the clones that turned out to be the top selections as a result of the study?

Pretty exciting to think that, if finances allow, several of these producers will plant these better clones, blend less Merlot, etc, and utilize lower impact vinification techniques, potentially resulting in a purer expression of Chianti! A shift in the blind tasting paradigm?
