Viticcio Chianti Classico 2012, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$19.25
late 2017- 2019
April 2019....Smooth, medium bodied, good but not spectacular, lacked flavour...a good sipper wine....still has 6-12 months left.
May 2019....same as above, enjoyed with Osso Bucco.
Mar 2020.....enjoyed with pasta and homemade pasta sauce.....still good, worked nice with the meal....a lot of sediment but not a detriment.

2018-2024* ....last one in 2022 or sooner
(one as a gift to Shelley C...maybe a 2018 vintage)
August 2020....had with asian marinated pork chops, maybe not the best match but wine was good. Rich & smooth but didn't think it was as good as Frei Brothers version (2012) which I loved a lot! Still, a good wine to have with the right meal.
Dec 2020...delicious, loved it so much drank half bottle without batting an eye. Had with Maunder's butter chicken, went very well I thought. Lovely smooth velvet feel, dark fruit, rich, so enjoyable. Might have to keep last one (not gift)...drink 2022?
