Cecchi Chianti Classico 20012 DOCG

Variety: 90% Sangiovese, the remaining 10% are Canaiolo and Colorino Toscano
Country of origin: Italy
Wine appellation: Tuscany
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color: medium red with garnet meniscus
Bouquet: cherries, oak, nice wood element, and some spiciness
Taste: medium body, good combination of fruit and structure, cherries, some earthiness, seems there is either no oak at least not barrique, spices, medium to longer finish
Overall score: 4+6.5+11+6+6.5=84
Price: CZK 140 on special
Stopper: cork
Reasonable Chianti Classico at very affordable level, nice break from NW wines, but do not expect any wow effect, it is nicely done very commercial Chianti Classico, nothing more.  Looking at my previous tasting notes I tasted 2007 vintage in December 2009.
