Score 87/100 · Drink 2021-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2021
The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Famiglia Zingarelli is powerful and concentrated, but also lacking in freshness. Dried cherry, crushed leaves, spice, tobacco and worn-in leather add to the impression of a wine that is on a fast aging curve. Angular and dried out tannins suggest the 2018 is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.

Cherry and orange peel with some spice. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a fresh, savory finish. Sangiovese with some cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Delicious now.
