Great chianti with an artistic styling. Smooth delightful tannins, ripe cherries and slight earthy quality.

Pretty, with soft and gentle floral notes, citrus peel and sour cherry. Fine acidity, but quite simple and light palate. In balance, and pleasant, but didn't stir excitement for me.

2012 badia a coltibuobo estate chianti classico. Extremely pretty. "We've identified 170 grape varieties in the old chianti blends. " if you ever get a chance you hang with Roberto do it! Conversation topics he's enlightening on include biodynamic farming, sangiovese clonal selection history, chianti subzone terrior, the Milan concert seen of the early 70's, the velvet underground, hitchhiking the American west safely and efficiently, Fela Kuti, southern Oregon communes, biodiversity in vineyards, macro economic theory and sangiovese as a soil amplifier. Roberto speaks softly and carries a massive wit. #greatpeopleofwine

Аромат умеренно насыщенный, цветочно-вишневый, простой. Фиалка, фиалковый корень, во вкусе вишня с легким леденцовым оттенком. 15/20 (83/100)

Classic. Not screaming 'drink me' but not bad.

Dried red cherries and cranberries, balsamic, dried thyme, and mushroom. A lush juicy palate of raspberries with smooth tannins and delightful acidity.

First had this bottle nearly 10 years ago at an Italian joint at the MGM Grand. I don't know if it was the imported white anchovies in conjunction, but I'll never forget this bottle from that night. As far as tasting notes: nice floral bouquet, very earthy flavor, typical dry Italian goodness. Only seen this bottle @TotalWine.
