Deep, dark, supple and balanced with acids and minerals. Lovely. — a day ago

9.1

This is an excellent CC. It has all you could want from an entry level wine. Beautifully balanced, with lovely dark cherry fruit, supporting tannins and the classic Sangiovese bite on the finish. — 5 months ago

Really very delicious and at $45 better than many more expensive Brunellos etc. I like Istine’s entry level Chianti as well, but had not had one of their single vineyard bottlings before this one. Great refinement, juicy dark red fruit, silky mouthfeel with balanced acid and tannins. Decanted 2 hours and had with grilled pork blade steak. Very nice and one to try over the next few years. — 8 months ago

9.0

Reminds me of so many of the solid affordable wines we’d find in Italy. Medium body. Firm tannins. Tart fruit first. Then tobacco.

I’ll do this again. — 2 months ago

9.1

Interesting expression of Sangiovese. High altitude vineyard in Radda. 13.5% abv. Harmonious seamless cherry fruit. Not that tart. Not showing the typical Sangiovese bite on the finish. A polished, refined Chianti Classico. Delicious if somewhat atypical. — 5 months ago

Well rounded with smooth tannins. Notes of ripe cherry and smoke. — a year ago

9.1

Don’t find myself drinking a lot of rose but this is a nice one. Wonderfully round acids, mouth filling, refreshing and delicious. Nice to try something less serious from Istine, always like their stuff. — 5 months ago

8.9

Nice Tuscan white wine from a producer we like. Perhaps some skin contact based on the color and just a hint of grip. Not too mouth filling or intense and maybe slightly one note but still nice. — 7 months ago

This wine is ridiculously good at sub $30. Easily one of my favorite classicos out there — a year ago
