Quite dark ruby color. Nose kind of follows with darker berry and cherry notes, musky/earthy element and some oak. On the palate wine is midweight+, suprisingly open and like nose suggested rather dark toned compared to what I've used to from this bottling. Had to check if I grabbed a Felsina CC instead of this. Anyway a solid CC in the making — 4 years ago
1.5L bottle served side-by-side to Felsina’s “Fontalloro”. Decanted for two hours and returned to bottle an hour before serving. Sour cherries, black tea, dried herbs...a stunner with food. Obviously the more traditional of the two. A lovely IGT that stays true to the region’s roots. No pun intended. — 6 years ago
I wish all Chianti tasted like Felsina. Ok, yes it was a warm & ripe & fruity vintage, but there’s still a lot of depth & nuance that doesn’t get lost: Rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, black and red cherry, black plum pit, a touch of roast meat. Aromatic & supple, well-managed tannins. Bravo 👏🏻 — 2 years ago
Denser, weightier than Felsina but also shallower. The structure is simpler and the aroma is not as lively. Has subtle authentic perfume, just not as appealing as Felsina. — 6 years ago

Solid and enjoyable sangiovese. Paired well with lamb. — 4 months ago
