The Villa Cerna Chianti Classico Primocolle DOCG 2022 is a true representation of Tuscany's rich winemaking history. This vintage showcases a deep ruby red colour with hints of purple, exuding elegance and refinement. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and plum are complemented by notes of dried herbs, leather, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is juicy and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Flavours of cherry, licorice, and tobacco fill the mouth, while a touch of spice adds complexity to the long, lingering finish. This Chianti Classico is a testament to Villa Cerna's commitment to producing exceptional wines, and it is a perfect pairing for hearty Italian dishes and aged cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to let its complexity unfold.

James Suckling
A fruity, succulent and well-balanced Chianti Classico showing aromas of sour cherries, warm herbs, currants and some peppercorns. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Bright and refreshing, with a crunchy finish.

James Button - Decanter
This good value Chianti Classico is from fruit grown in Castellina. Fresh, saline, stony and juicy, its red fruits are accompanied by a bitter herb twist. Great quality for this entry level bottle, there's a slatey, graphite touch on the finish, along with some wild strawberry and cream. Tight and energetic; really gastronomic. Yum!

Danielle Callegari - Wine Enthusiast
A wonderfully bright and energetic nose gives a pop of wild cherry and a squeeze of blood orange before earthy, savory tones take over, rolling onto a palate that offers deeper fruit and more earth but still a joyous buoyancy and warmth.
