Parker about Chianti Classico 1997
From an austere vintage, the 1998 Chianti Classico Riserva exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as copious extract, more muscle and tannin, but neither the charm nor seductiveness of its younger sibling.

Chianti Classico 1997
The 1997 Chianti Classico from Castello di Fonterutoli presents itself in the glass with a deep ruby red, which can fade to an elegant garnet red over time. This intense color is an indication of the wine's density and structure.
On the nose, a complex bouquet unfolds, characterized by ripe red fruits such as cherries, plums, and strawberries. These fruity aromas are complemented by notes of spices such as pepper and cinnamon. Additional nuances of tobacco, leather, and subtle wood notes lend the bouquet remarkable depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured. The ripe fruit aromas are clear and precise, harmonizing perfectly with the spicy and earthy notes. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, giving the wine an elegant and smooth texture. The acidity is balanced and provides good freshness and vibrancy, making the wine long-lasting and pleasant.
