Chianti Classico La Pieve 2006

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“The 2006 Chianti Classico La Pieve is an immensely rewarding wine. The profile tends towards a darker expression of black cherries intermingled with scents of tar, smoke, licorice and scorched earth, all of which come together in a plump, generous wine with plenty of stuffing. This beautiful Chianti Classico should continue to deliver much pleasure over the next decade or so.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (Aug 2009)
