2022 vintage. Last tasted 11.22.25 (9.3) and 3.12.25 (9.3). Decanted and tasted after 15 minutes. Medium body now after having dropped some weight. Remains a delicious, ripe and round G-das with spicy flourishes. 3.27.26. — 2 months ago

Cherry and leather nose. Mid range palate , smooth at first, not heavy, really opens and shines with a Sunday gravy meat sauce.
Evidently, Catignano is a specific, higher elevation plane, and or in this case, an organic offering from Dievole. They sure do put out quite a bit.
As the wine opens w protein and acids, it’s rather tannic and juicy in the inner mouth. A surprise of quality from a large scale producer. It’s nice leathery, cherry, mineral Sangiovese perfect for tomato based pasta dishes.

Pale garnet in color, this wine presents pronounced aromas of macerated cherries, with subtle hints of menthol and dry earth. I did not notice any floral notes.

On the palate, the wine confirms the nose, displaying medium-plus tannins and medium acidity, with a medium finish.

I believe this wine could benefit from a couple more years of aging in the cellar, although I really enjoyed it. I look forward to trying it again in 2027 or 2028. — 10 months ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 3.19.25 (9.2). Decanted and tasted after one hour. Was medium-medium heavy body but gained some weight in the last year. Now medium heavy. Smoky nose. Velveteen fruit. Nice spice complexities on the delish finish. Pre-tariff resto cost was $19.90 a bottle. 70% Grenache. 15% Syrah. 15% Mourvèdre. Absolute steal. 1.30.26. — 4 months ago

Good Chianti. Lot of fruit/ cherry. Benefits from a bit of air. Had this with a family recipe- misticanza- sausage - based- and it fit the bill. — 7 months ago

Enjoyed the 2015 after 5 years to celebrate a baby! deep and dark cherry notes. Sipping alone then with food worked. — 8 months ago

Lovely perfume of red fruits, spice and earthy gravelly notes. The same characters come through on the light to medium weight palate with spicy top notes. Fine tannins. Not for cellaring, great to drink right now. First time with this small family owned producer and it won’t be the last. I also bought 2 bottles each of their Gigondas and Vacqueyras Cuvées when I bought 2 bottles of this Cuvée. Great value at only $40 AUD. — 6 months ago

We had this two years ago and it drank more like a BdM. A tad hefty and laced with oak and Vanillin.
Tonight, a much more integrated Sangiovese beasty. Lots of dark cherries, bright acidity, medium tannins.
With lasagna, perfect. — 7 months ago
