This needs time. Like, maybe I should have waited and opened it up when the 2026 World Cup started. The colour around the ring is like a red brick. Not too tannic. Doesn’t have character.

Rich tannins, spicy, smooth cherry flavour. Medium body, paired well with steak frites

Big big dark fruits - think dark cherry in butter. Soft, jammy finish

Very solid chianti, classical. Not the Great one, but perfect companion.
Dazu: Zuppa di Verdure - Nero di Toscano, Kürbis, Kastanie, Wildschweinsalami

Great p/q. 2016 clearly a standout year in Chianti. This is brilliant ruby, with a pure sangiovese nose - leather, red and black fruit, spice, and forest floor. Med bodied, clean strawberry and red cherry with silky mouthfeel. Then a solid lick of superfine tannin bring grip and length.
