Our princess her birthday. Time for the yearly 2011. This Sammarco was soo good. A bit of VA in the nose, sweet start and than the acidity kicks in. Very balanced. And quite some time ahead. Wow! — 4 days ago

2019 Took some time to open but good nose and ruby colour excellent structure in mouth with good balance of berry flavours acidity and tannins
Had at a new Italian restaurant called Civico 47 which used to be Lucio’s for 35 odd years, old Lucio would be happy it’s still a high quality Italian restaurant.Just announced as WS wine no. 24 in 2024 top 100 — a month ago

A vigorous young Chianti Classico. Intense and a little peppery from the alcohol. Nice accompaniment to pasta with a rich meat sauce. — 2 days ago

See previous Note. Old plummie, red cherry notes. Barb said dusty and pine needles. A cooler vintage. I said red cherries and freshly tilled loam. As Galloni said “In 2010 Ama did not bottle their single vineyard selections. All the best fruit went here.” Tasting more the quality of a Brunello than a Chianti Classico. No. 6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2015. — 25 days ago

Super smooth, good fruit, nice balance. Only criticism would be it needs a bit more structure this young. But that could be the restaurant’s fault - the steak was too salty. — 2 months ago

Too young but insane potential...going to buy more. Love this wine and its depth and complexity. Paired well with venison. — a day ago
