2015 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva....$27.99
Compare to $36.99 at Total Wine and More in STL
Black currant, cedar, olive, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors suggest Cabernet in the blend, in a positive sense. This red is fluid, elegant and firmly structured, with fine balance and a long, gripping finish. The taut profile shows the potential for aging. Best from 2022 through 2038. 6,000 cases imported.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator
The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori (made with Sangiovese and a tiny bit of Merlot to soften out the edges) is a linear and broad red wine that would pair with simple meat or pasta dishes. You get tons of fruit here with cherry, blackberry and a touch of soft baking spice woven in on the close. This pretty vintage is focused and sharp in character
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate


2016 Ridolfi Rocchetto Chianti DOCG...$15.99
Sangiovese 75%, Merlot 15%, Colorino 10%
This wine seriously over delivers for the month and is the perfect embodiment of the great 2016 vintage.  Fruity and simple with dried cherry and lemon character. Good core of fruit in the center. Bright finish.
Rated 90/100 James Suckling

2018 Bibbiano Chianti Classico...$19.99
The 2018 Chianti Classico is soft, fruity and floral, all of which makes it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Freshly cut flowers, bright red berry fruit and gently spiced notes all run through this perfumed, gracious Chianti Classico from Bibbiano.

2016 Bibbiano Vigna del Capannino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione...$41.99
This red starts out smooth, displaying ripe black cherry and plum flavors, along with earth, iron and woodsy elements. Gains power as this builds on the palate, ending in an extended aftertaste of loam, iron and wild herb accents. Best from 2023 through 2045. 3,300 cases made, 250 cases imported
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator

2017 Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva...$23.99
Lots of ripe cherries and berries with undergrowth and mushroom undertones, as well as ash. It’s full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a medium-chewy finish. A solid Chianti Classico here. Give it a year or two to soften. Real deal.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling


2017 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico  Tan Label...$19.99
This is fine-tannined with berry, chocolate and cedar character. It’s medium-bodied with beautiful fruit and a cherry, toffee and cedar aftertaste. Rich and fresh at the same time. Drink now
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
