Probably my #1 Chianti estate. So fragrant and elegant. Nose has pure macerated cherry fruit, deep gravelly minerality, dried flowers and sweet spices. Lean, pure, and flavorful, with clingy intense cherry and ridiculous inner mouth aromas. Medium-full body and crisp acids on the long finish. (Not sure if I’m being objective here because of the estate.)

A classic expression of Sangiovese, spicy with bright red fruit and a very typical freshness that you can find in the best chianti wines. There is no room here for non-Italian grape varieties or an overdose of oak, and it is this classical approach that lends it all the more charm.

Light in color, nice palate, spicy, well balanced and is a good companion to food but also solo.
