Rich Italian dark cherries permeate this luscious bouquet with a slight hint of Valencia oranges. Sour cherries, spices and a slight orange sweetness that rounds off a smooth and balanced finish! 16 years old and who would thought it would be so spectacular? That’s right- those Italians did!! — 3 years ago
Probably the best Chianti we’ve had. — 4 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a very pretty garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, cranberries, pomegranate, rose pastilles, alpine herbs, cedar chest, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose thought the palate seems to be a little more reserved. The finish is medium. This is an authentic and elegant expression of Carema; a place already known for elegance. Drink now through 2034. Thanks to @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 5 months ago

Hyvä! ! Hapokas, voimakkaat tanniinit ja aromikkaan keskitäyteläinen. Chiantimainen tuoksu, pitkä jälkivaikutelma. — 5 years ago

70% Carricante 30% Catarratto from Sicily and yes I needed Jancis Robinson et al. to tell me what those grapes are. Dry with nice aromatics (curry, cumin, dried red pepper) and minerality. If you had told me this was Vermentino I would have believed you. Very nice and yes @Brendan Devine it’s natty. — 4 years ago
Light bodied. Nose of raspberries, a bit floral. Dry, acidic, tannic, chalky and mineral. My favourite light bodied wine by far, Etna Rosso! — 5 years ago

Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 4 months ago
