Borgo Pretale Chianti Classico Le Crete is a true expression of Chianti Classico from the Sangiovese grape of Tuscany. The 2006 vintage is superb for Tuscany, rated 96 points by Wine Advocate, making it (along with 2004) the best vintage in the past 4 decades! Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy great Chianti at a reasonable price.

Borgo Pretale Chianti Classico Le Crete is dark ruby-garnet in color. On the nose, it has pronounced cherry and violet notes with nuances of tobacco. The wine is medium-full in body with excellent depth and structure. On the palate, it shows flavors of blackberry, raspberry, herbs and spice. It is beautifully balanced to enjoy now and over the next 5-7 years. It is long and silky smooth on the finish.

Enjoy Borgo Pretale Chianti Classico Le Crete with osso bucco, lasagna, or veal Milanese; but it’s best with mortadella, salami and provolone on fresh Italian bread!
