Principe Corsini, Chianti Classico (Tuscany, Italy) “Le Corti” 2015

($24):  Principe Corsini’s 2015 Chianti Classico exemplifies why Chianti Classico in general is so popular.  Bright and fresh, it delivers the ideal combination of red cherry-like fruitiness with haunting earthy, “not just fruit” flavors that give it complexity and character.  Lively acidity and smooth tannins make it the “go-to” red wine now.  This has a seriousness that its price belies.
