Cepparello Estate Bottled Toscana Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
See previous note in November 2024. Same notes still apply. Rich cherry and spice. Previous note said drink the last one in mid 2026, so I was close and the previous notes still apply. Morrell said that 2016 is “without a doubt, the finest vintage for Chianti Classico.” Excellent.

Oct 2nd, 2026Menthol, mint , earth and savoury red fruits. Medium bodied palate - coats the mouth. From the fabulous 2016 vintage in Tuscany and it shows. Anyone who knows the region knows that this vintage was one of the best in recent times. Had a 2nd bottle on 12th June 2025 which was just as satisfying. Mint, menthol with chalky granular tannins. Have last bottle in mid 2026.

Yes, please, to this developing wine with notes of fresh blackberry, plum, tart black cherry, violet, black licorice anise, sambuca, fennel, cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon, cedar, sweet tobacco, and clove. 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany.
Acidity, alcohol, tannins are strong! Solid structure; wish we’d held on for longer. Still lovely now though.
Cheers!

Too young, but all the elements are there. Dark ruby. All acid and tannin, with fruit struggling to express itself until the steak arrived, then things changed. Plum, sage, herbs, and some coffee notes. Needs lots of time.
