Ceccherini Cristiano

9.2

A very small producer of Pinot Nero from the Hinterland of Tuscany in an area where he was a pioneer, but where now it is acclaimed that Pinot Nero is the thing and that they can be very good.

I remember buying it was very hard at the beginning since production was tiny(like 2000 bottles??). I am not sure what they do now.

However, the wine is holding up greatly. It has flesh, flavour and lenght. Also it is quite complex and o dare to say that it is perhaps the most Burgundian expression from Italy.

Nose has candied pineapple, very ripe nectarine, straw bale, white/yellow flowers and lemon peel.

Palate has tangerine zest, Mandarin orange slice, under-ripe peach, wet river rocks, slightly waxy texture with a short finish.

Decanted 2H.
A quite youthful bottle, revisit 2026+

On point with the Spätlese style connection per Vinous comments.

Paired to Chicken Adobo (Milk Street recipe) and I'm convinced that coconut milk ingredient dishes are a perfect match to Riesling. — 4 years ago

Here is a confession! I try very hard to quit delectable and give it up: But then the wines come along with a personal connection. I visited Silvio in the early 2000‘s and we tried his 2003. Great wine in a hot vintage. His son was born 2003. Ever since i have a soft spot for his wines. # This one is quite spectacular. Drink now it is f….great or keep for 10 years +. Classic. Sold out at Kermit Lynch. I bought just one bottle. 😢 Enough said. — 9 months ago

As other writers have commented, this takes a long time to open up! Give it 5 or 6 hours..

Interesting nose, and could easily mistake it for a Sangiovese. Hazelnuts, almond.

Medium bodied with pomegranate, dried cherry, a touch of quince, the tannins from the fruit is still so much larger than that of the barrel it is aged in, giving that true connection to old world wine.
A touch of acid and lip smacking tannin.
The label has the lot and date stamped on it. — 5 years ago

Another SUPER super Tuscan. Great dark fruit and spice. 10 years a good time to drink, but could easily sit for a few more years. Made more interesting to me with the Calgary connection. First tried at Bonterra (miss it) 12 years ago. Love it and the higher end offerings. — 6 years ago

Before it opens up, the wine has a provocative almost irony mouthfeel & flavour. As it settles, you can taste the Gamay grape dominating the blend. — 6 years ago

60/40 Carignan/Grenache...Opened as midweek foil for Filets and Bakers. Showing little sign of age... vibrant dark berry notes with noticeable ABV... bit more “modern” and fruit/forward than expected. Recall buying two of these at 50% discount. Probably at $15-20 a far price...but tasted fully “Parkerized”. Little if any sense of terroir or connection with place. — 7 years ago
