Medium ruby , with a medium wide garnet rim . Cut herbs and some spice on the nose , sage , thyme , porcini and cedar . There is some spiced cherry fruit and rose underneath , this shows some development . On the palate there are spiced red cherries , dried herbs, gaining complexity with time in the glass. Fresh acidity and grippy tannin . Good menthol tinged finish . This is well balanced , though there is still good density the alcohol is balanced. It is showing a bit of development, the aromatics are really inviting and there is good complexity on the palate too. The last glass was the best , showing ample structure and a darker fruit character so I think this will age a bit further the tannins are still a bit noticeable, so from now (with time in the glass or decanter ) and over the next 8-12 years. At Ristorante Buca Lapi, Florence . — a day ago

This is other stuff compared to the Istine. But also another pricetag…big and bold, more “rustic”. Good wine! — 2 months ago

Raspberry jam on the nose. Cherry and plum with nice acidity to start on the tongue blending out to cherry, raspberry, leather and oak then finishing in cocoa and a hint of oak. Medium tannins. Went well with my stuffed banana peppers. — 8 days ago

Tasting great after 75 mins of aeration. Model Sangiovese flavors. Served with antipasti: pesto shrimp, grape leaves, hummus, aged 12-month manchego, and burrata. — a month ago

2020 vintage, standard Chianti ruby red coloring, decent floral aromas on the nose, cherry and spice on the palette, complete shift in flavor after letting it breath for 30 minutes, it leaves a lingering but pleasant hint of smoke or burnt oak on the finish. — 2 months ago

Excellent value. Very smooth interpretation of sangiovese more akin to a very good Rosso if not Brunello.

Had this with pasta and a vodka sauce, and garlic bread. Delicious Wednesday night! Pillow - soft in the mouth. Cherry, tar, old mohagany. Tannins integrated enough to drink on its own, but with the food- lovely. — 2 months ago
