88 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2016 Chianti Classico Coltibuono RS is a sharp and snappy red wine with lots of bright fruit followed by pressed rose petal and grilled herb. With 66,500 bottles made, you get great value here. The wine is fresh and informal with plenty of primary intensity to keep the palate refreshed. There is a touch of cherry on the close, both sweet and sour.
