Cherry and leather nose. Mid range palate , smooth at first, not heavy, really opens and shines with a Sunday gravy meat sauce.
Evidently, Catignano is a specific, higher elevation plane, and or in this case, an organic offering from Dievole. They sure do put out quite a bit.
As the wine opens w protein and acids, it’s rather tannic and juicy in the inner mouth. A surprise of quality from a large scale producer. It’s nice leathery, cherry, mineral Sangiovese perfect for tomato based pasta dishes.

Pale garnet in color, this wine presents pronounced aromas of macerated cherries, with subtle hints of menthol and dry earth. I did not notice any floral notes.

On the palate, the wine confirms the nose, displaying medium-plus tannins and medium acidity, with a medium finish.

I believe this wine could benefit from a couple more years of aging in the cellar, although I really enjoyed it. I look forward to trying it again in 2027 or 2028. — 4 months ago

We had this two years ago and it drank more like a BdM. A tad hefty and laced with oak and Vanillin.
Tonight, a much more integrated Sangiovese beasty. Lots of dark cherries, bright acidity, medium tannins.
With lasagna, perfect. — a month ago

Good Chianti. Lot of fruit/ cherry. Benefits from a bit of air. Had this with a family recipe- misticanza- sausage - based- and it fit the bill. — 25 days ago
