Badia a Coltibuono 1997 Cetamura Sangiovese (Chianti)
- Best Buy
- $11
For what would be considered this winery’s base-level Chianti, it offers almost everything one could ask for, minus a lot of intensity. A nice cranberry nose, full fruit and character galore. Light more than heavy, it sits comfortably on your tongue before fading into a smooth, light finish. Hardly any overt tannins make it drinkable right away. Best Buy.
