Another winner from this producer. Lively pure, deep cherry leaps out of the glass, with a sprinkling of crushed rock and spice. Great acids (surprisingly for a ‘20) and lively, medium-bodied flavors. With air, the flavors are deepening. Still some youthful-feeling fine tannin. So good on a summer evening with take-out Detroit style pizza right now, but no rush to drink this.

Jul 24th, 2025This is loaded with character. Nose is intense with violets, intense macerated cherry, gravel, and old chestnut casks (I have no idea what wood this may have been aged in). In the mouth, it’s full-flavored but not heavy, with a whack of crunchy dark cherry followed by loads of savory mineral notes. Good acids, alcohol in check at 13.5, bone dry, and with some tannin still to shed. Very nice!

Old school Chianti Classico. Lithe, a little racy, red fruit and wild flowers. Great food wine. 😍

Jan 31st, 2018Terrific old school (except a bit less acid than the old days before global warming). Funky and earthy, winey cherries out the ying yang. Almost like an old-school “governo method” wine. Minerally and pure tasting. Nice length. Great meal Chianti.
