2024 Babo Chianti Sangiovese - Chianti, Italy
Cheap Chianti can be all kinds of wrong, but this is a deliciously juicy, medium-bodied, Tuscan red that is crazy good value. This was the first Chianti, as far as we know, to be bottled under screwcap and offered in a Burgundy-shaped bottle (of course others have now followed). Quality fruit, sourced from a southwest-facing vineyard in Vinci (near Empoli) elevates this to a status that far exceeds what you’d normally expect at this price point.
