Colli senesi Chianti is probably the most underrated old world style wine on the planet. The nose is bacon fat, mixed with sopressata. The palate is smooth and drinkable. Perfect food pairing. The nose is the incredible part though. Wow. — 9 years ago

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red cherries, blueberries, plums, raspberries, spices, light oak, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and light earth.

The Gattavecchi family has been making wine in Montepulciano since the1950s, with the purchase of the Poggio alla Sala estate. Ruby with aromas of red berry, herb and floral notes. On the palate tart cherry and raspberry with spice and earthy herb notes. Firm tannins on medium finish ending with some earthy oak. Good now and over next 1-2 years. — 5 years ago

This 5 year old Single Vineyard is showing a great nose already, and feels much older than it is.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
I had an older vintage of this wine and it showed wonderfully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
