Mid to pale crimson in colour. Red cherry, burnt toffee, earth and tar. Juicy on the light to medium weight palate. Oak is noticeable but does not overly intrude. Herbal notes. A great match with home made linguine pasta. Even though only a Rosso has a cellaring capacity of another 5 years although pretty attractive right now. Lovely wine - a superior Rosso. Had another bottle 41 weeks later on 23rd Nov 2022 with consistent notes. Excellent food wine. Drank the 3rd and last on 20th December following the 2007 Valdicava. A very good Rosso.

Lots of earth and good fruit. Drinking better on day 2.

A little riper than classic Baricci, but still enough Montosoli acidity tie it all together.

A very clean, expressive Sangiovese to go with Cinnamon's eggplant Parmesan. This is a very nicely done Rosso, but I prefer the higher toned, more mineral style of Chianti to the north.

A little pruney on the nose, but it opened up, more structured and closed than some of the 2013's, a solid wine.

Nice choice when pairing to a variety of dishes (duck, pork, even fish) bright red fruit, a bit of tomato leaf, lively.

Medium light ruby garnet , wide terracotta , garnet rim . Quite discreet on the nose , herbal touches , dried rose , some dried red plum and menthol . On the palate a bit more fresh red fruits , cherry and red plum , but some dry spice and a sweet liquorice tinged medium length finish . Balanced acidity and rounded tannin, just slightly warming alcohol so I would drink this slightly cooler. This is still drinking quite well though has lost quite a bit of fresh fruit , so I would drink this sooner than later . Now and over the next couple of years .
