Raspberry, cherry, roasted game, cigar box. Dark, plush and dense: a typical 2015. No VA. The best CC I’ve ever tasted from this grower. #poggioalsole #chianticlassico #sangiovese

Good Sangiovese Syrah blend. Almost could drink it by itself. Wished that it stood out a bit more with the pasta and Florentine steak. Had in Florence.

Nicely surprised! Excellent value and very nice earthy feel. Not too cherry but had some recognizable Chianti notes. Would get again.
