From the heart of the Chianti region, this is Casa Emma’s base level of wine. Principally produced with Sangiovese grapes, it is a balanced wine, with a rich aroma of cherry and plum, combined with a good spice.

NYR DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:
(Previous vintage) “This wine makes a wonderful first impression thanks to its vibrant intensity and penetrating aromas of cherry, cola, almond, and spice. Shaped by consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini, it would do an excellent job of cleaning the palate after a steaming dish of spagetti, grated Parmigiano cheese, and tomato sauce."--Wine Enthusiast--88 pts The Bucalossi family bought the Casa Emma vineyard at the beginning of the 1970’s from the Florentine noblewoman Emma Bizzarri, whose name remains attached to the property. Casa Emma produces only 3 wines, with this Chianti Classico being the base level. It is representative of the quality of wine that is exemplary of the historic name of Casa Emma.
