Sofia’s favorite vineyard plot. A “smoke show” we called it. Generally the 19s were the standouts — beautifully balanced and giving all of the dried herb and earthy notes typical of great Chianti Classico — but this was an exception, opulent and spicey (allspice, cinnamon, cedar) and so so fragrant. Stay in the look out for these wines — Sofia (the estate manager) and Giocomo (vineyard manger and cellar master, most recently of Isole & Olena) are making some really intentional and pretty wines here. — 2 years ago

This is an absolutely crowd pleaser GSM out of the Côtes du Rhône Appellation. The composition of this wine is a blend of a very old Grenache at 75%, Mourvèdre at 15% &
Syrah at 10%.
All these grapes are sourced from Signargues, Cairanne and Rasteau, which have an eco-environment and well delineated terroirs from both banks of the Rhône River. Everything combined translates into an exceptional expression of Grenache-driven, rich, powerful yet subtle and generous on the palate with a compelling finesse and extremely balanced.
Hard to have only one glass, cheers! — 10 days ago
