Woody nose. Cherry flavor with length and wood. Light tannic finish. A more serious Chianti, really

Second bottle of this I’ve opened. Paired nicely with Polpettone alla Fiorentina. Nose is relatively subdued, but gives up scents of dark cherry, juniper berry, warm gravel, and sandalwood. Nice balance in the mouth, with forceful flavors of macerated cherry and crushed stone-laden earth. Nicely savory on the finish. There are tannins aplenty, but they’re relatively soft, and there’s nice acidity for such a warm year, so this should sail through the next several years and maybe improve some more.

Oct 3rd, 2021Delicious and complex. Not yet fully mature. Striking, youthful color. Nose has tons of gravel, iodine, chokecherry liqueur. Concentrated and medium-bodied in the mouth. Great acids. Youthfully assertive but reasonably soft tannins. Flavors on the savory side and linger. Can’t wait until the Brasato is done to pair this.

Classic red fruit notes and a touch of dried green herbs. Quite balanced on the palate with fine grained, smooth tannins.
I was hoping for a bit more intensity, but this was very well made abeit on the simple side.
