1984 Chianti – Bartali (Tuscany, Italy)
A fully mature, classical Chianti showing perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and amarena, rose petal, cedar and sweet tobacco, with hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle balsamic note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Bartali is a traditional Tuscan house long associated with Sangiovese-led blends and a food-friendly, aromatic style that ages gracefully into nuance and poise.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, porcini risotto, pappardelle al ragù, pecorino stagionato.
