Ceccherini Cristiano

9.3

1630 bottles produced
Old school natural wine
Niccolaini was the avant-garde of the movement without ever being in it himself.
I got told stories of a farm with no electricity perhaps a decade ago or so
Massa Vecchia is appreciated for all its labels and you can find out which one is your favourite
Personally i am not a rose drinker, but i knew i wasn't going to be disappointed here
This is more like a Valentini cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, but even more extract, i dare to say if you sell this wine for a red nobody would argue.
It's funky to start, it gives you cola and china and its fresh and fun, plus very long and mineral.
Quite earthy perhaps not a precise fruit to define, but real good altogether
For my understanding this is the last vintage made by Niccolaini' daughter in law as a winemaker and i keep a bottle of the next vintage..i am very curious to how he has come back to his captain seat. — 2 years ago

Belle matière et concentration sans être trop. Assez Puissant et encore serré un peu. À attendre quelques années surement avant d’être à son peak. 90-91

Very nice now, powerful and tight still, needs a few years of cellar still,to be at it’s peak. — 2 years ago

Much better and more open then the last bottle I opened, nice fruit, good structure and balance, very good.

La dernière bouteille étant un peu fermée, j’ai carafé une petite heure avant de servir, sans être le plus expressif, il s’est révéler plus ouvert que la dernière.
Un fruit assez généreux pour le millésime, belle structure et texture intéressante, un vin assez sérieux encore mais qui en donne pas mal maintenant, belle longueur, c’est bien fait. 91 — 2 years ago

Before the storm! Apremont Jacquere planted in 1956, destroyed in 2019 by hail. Orchard fresh fruit salad. Stony pallet and pineapple acidity. There is a creamy character, nice little background to the fruit and mineral. Does need some air to disparate some ‘natural odors’ but I find those easy to get past. — 2 years ago

Un très bon Tempranillo. Corsé, épicé en premier et velouté par la suite, un peu opposé comme sensation mais c’est ce que j’ai ressenti. Boisée, cassis cerise. A besoin de respirer un peu avant de boire. Ce fût très bien avec un poulet Masala. SAQ $21,90 — a year ago

A gamay in the Burgundian style structured by a marked elevage with toasted oaky notes. (very well done). The fruit is not highlighted. Since gamay does not have the same vertical depth as Pinot Noir, the primary characteristics are a little behind.

Un gamay dans le style bourguignon structuré par un élèvage marqué aux notes toastées de fût. Le fruit n’est pas mis en avant. Le gamay n’ayant pas la même profondeur verticale que le pinot noir, les caractéristiques primaires sont un peu en retrait. — 2 years ago

Love the flavour. Could do with couple more years to develop just a slightly smoother finish on palette. — 3 years ago
