Organic/Bio Lower ABV No way you try this blind and guess it sells for <$20. Because it shouldn’t and only does because importer Lia Banville-Tolaini owns the vineyard and winery and uses it to craft this “door opening” Chianti value. It’s 90% Sangiovese (tank) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (aged in oak) all organically farmed and all from Chianti Classico’s famous Castelnuovo Berardenga region. Ripe red berry fruit, spice, a bit of cedar and more flow over fine, firm, food-friendly tannins.
As Vinous says, “The 2024 Ali is a tasty, easygoing red to drink now and over the next few years. Succulent dark cherry, plum, new leather, incense, tobacco and liquorice are front and center. Readers should expect a bold, juicy Tuscan red. Ali will make a great house wine or by-the-glass pour.” And Suckling adds in their 90 point praise, “a fresh and crisp red with a medium body and a slightly grainy tannin structure, offering crunchy berries layered with subtle spice and a cedar-like quality.” We think it's the best Rosso Ali yet – and you will too!
For You If: You need a great all-purpose pizza/pasta/burger red; you like Chianti but want a value to drink tonight vs cellar for a while; a pinch of acidity and chew of tannin that melt away like the cheese on your lasagna sound good.
Not For You If: You’re looking for “smooth” – this is boisterous and firm. You want to taste Chianti Classico’s traditional oak aging and leather notes; you want something big (this is just 13.0% alcohol, but is hardly light!).
