On the lighter side on Chianti for sure, but nicely delineated red fruit, leather and dust.

Really nice Chianti that is ready to drink. Dark cherry, a bit of spice and damp earthy tones on the palate. Tannins soften after 30 minutes in the decanter.

Love this wine, super clean nose with nice cherry and licorice, fantastic texture, simple but elegant for its class, loved it with my cavetelli with fennel sausage and ricotta, delicious.

Solid, fruity and expressive Classico. Perfect with pizza and not expensive enough to feel guilty about opening early and often!

Ruby red color. Bright red fruits and oak on nose. Palette sees much of the same. Medium+ viscosity, mild tannins, medium acid with medium finish. Really enjoyed this to pair with our weekly visit to Delancey.
