Natalie's Score: 90/100

Toscolo 2017 Chianti Classico is an inviting and smooth red blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon wine grapes sourced from rocky "galestro" soils in the Tuscany wine region. Dry, medium-bodied and smoky with tart cherry, blackberry, plum, grilled herbs and smoky vanilla flavours vibrant on the palate. Elevage was in stainless steel tanks and then the wine was aged in French oak barrels for one year. Pair with a pasta Bolognese.

Chianti Classico food pairings: stuffed roasted turkey, steak topped pizza, pasta in tomato sauce, breaded veal cutlets.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
