Dating back to 1079 as a fortified Sienese outpost complete with a 13th-century stone tower, Borgo Scopeto boasts a dramatic history that includes sheltering Reformation thinkers in the 1500s. Located in the coveted southern borough of Castelnuovo Berardenga, the estate began bottling under its own label in 1990 and has since become a benchmark for classic Tuscan style. The Chianti Classico is medium- to full-bodied with a supple texture, and fragrant nose of toasted cedar, cherry liqueur, and rosemary. It finishes with a fresh, stony minerality and a touch of black tea.
