For the first time in many, many years I was not able to make my summer trip to Tuscany to taste the wines of Chianti Classico. That’s 2020 for you. But you know what? There is something to be said for the objectivity gained by tasting the wines far away from those stunning hillside vineyards, removed from the charming towns, without any of that amazing food. Would the wines be as impressive as I have long thought?

2016 Podere Il Palazzino Chianti Classico Argenina, 93 points
The 2016 Chianti Classico Argenina is fabulous. Dark cherry, gravel, sage, mint and leather bring out the darker side of Sangiovese in a Chianti Classico that captures all the pedigree of this great vintage. The 2016 is intense in the glass, and yet retains so much Sangiovese translucence. (AG)

1978 & 1989 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Riserva Collina Rionda
Antonio Galloni, September 2020
I was quite fortunate to be exposed to Bruno Giacosa’s wines when the circle of people who cared about them was tiny. It wasn’t that long ago these wines would appear at retail and sit for many, many months. Even the mythical red labels.
