Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruit and pepper, mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit with pepper spice and floral notes. Bold muscular tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, cacao and spice. Drink now! Enjoy with baked balsamic glaze chicken thighs.

Goes with anything and not too sweet. Definitely have on hand for when go-to runs out. Love it!

Classic Chianti with tart cherry & herby undergrowth + a whiff of tomato leaf.
Bright, juicy and savoury on the palate, with good flow and nicely managed tannins. Not overly complex but with nice edges here & there. Rustic, but in a nice way.
The ultimate pasta wine.

Nice pasta wine for a dinner in. Best to decant or pour out and let it warm up to room temp.

Definite Sangiovese taste with fruit and sour notes, but harsh on the finish. Disappointing for a Classico.
