I taste earthiness, and cherries. Good mouth feel and light tannins. I would definitely recommend this wine. — 2 years ago

This Chianti Classico doesn’t say it’s from a particular commune. Just a straight Chianti Classico. The modest nose features dark cherry, warm moist gravel, savory dark minerality. A fairly low-toned palate displays some dark cherry, but it’s mostly earthy (stony gravel) and savory flavors that prevail. Vibrant acids and some youthful but soft tannin seem to indicate that this will get better in a year or two, but it’s nice with dinner, if a bit vigorous, right now. Neither the cork nor the bottle say the winery that provided the wine for this Garagiste private label, but if you look up the winery number on the back and Google it, you come up with an Italian government document that says Casa Emma (a very good estate). — 2 years ago

Really like Casa Emma. Such a versatile wine. Terrific with pasta and tomato- based sauce, as you’d expect. Great sipper with cheese and crackers, salami, sliced tomatoes.. intense mouth, cherry and stones, pipe tobacco on the nose. Tinge of sour. Love it. Haven’t had a drink in a week due to Covid, so I’ve got some ENTHUSIASM tonight! Bet this would be better in a few years. Alas..it was not to be… — 2 months ago

Year in, year out, this private label (which, the last several years, bottles wine made by Casa Emma), is a terrific value in a high-performing weekday wine. This new iteration is dark-colored, and sports a nose of raspberry coulis, dark florals, a bit of gravel, and vanilla. In the mouth, it’s dry and has pretty good flavor concentration, with good acids and still some youthfully vigorous tannin to shed. Medium-length finish. Probably better in a year or so, but nice now too. — 2 years ago

Nose: so elegantly floral. So nebbiolo. Deep.

Palate: so silky. Elegant. Supple early season cherry. Still fresh but has integrates perfectly.

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Served alongside our dinner of a simple pasta dish: spaghetti all’arrabbiata. The 2013 CC Riserva from Casa Emma is redolent of gorgeous black cherry, raspberries, bergamot, dried green herbs, espresso, a touch of leather and subtle spices. Stout structure with tannin still firm and acid ideal for food. Long, dry and sublime finish. Every time I drink these wines from Casa Emma, I fall deeper in love. Drink now through 2033+. — 2 years ago
