Category: 2017 in Chianti Classico
An underrated vintage
2017 was a year that put the winegrowers in Chianti Classico to the test. One of the hottest and driest summers in decades, coupled with a devastating late frost at the end of April, all of which combined to cause some winegrowers to lose up to 30% of their harvest.
However, as is so often the case in the wine world, it is precisely the most difficult years that produce wines with a unique character. The 2017 vintage is somewhat overshadowed by its famous neighbors 2016, 2018 and 2019 - wrongly so, as my personal tastings have shown.
Characteristics of the vintage
- Intense fruit: The wines of the 2017 vintage display remarkably intense and ripe fruit and spice flavors that reflect the warmth of the vintage
- Powerful structure: Despite, or perhaps because of, the climatic challenges, the wines display impressive structure and complexity
- Well-balanced: The generally higher alcohol content is well integrated and ensures a harmonious balance in the wine
- Maturation potential: The single-vineyard wines from experienced winemakers in particular show exceptional ageing potential that invites patience.
