Coltassala, Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG – 2005 – 93 points – Italian Wine Report
93 points
Top 25 Wines of 2008
“Extroverted but contained nose of whole plum, hickory, and dried cherries enveloped the nose but the palate is unmercifully attacked by velvety tannins and mature but not under ripe red fruit that is relentless in its pursuit of the sweet spot of your palate. This is serious chianti classico; as good as it gets, and should serve as an example of what the region is capable of producing with its own local varietals. A perfect nervous system will insure that it will improve thru 2014. Outstanding wine and sublime example of sangiovese! Drink thru 2015.”
