Our Tasting Note 91 points:
Medium ruby red, transparent as you tilt the glass and pink at the edge. The nose is textbook sangiovese with medium+ intensity showing red cherry, red currants, new leather, loamy and light balsam notes, everything you want in a Chianti Classico. The palate is med/med+ bodied, perfectly integrated acidity and medium grain tannins. The palate intensity is med+ with a long, persistent finish. Excellent. We bought more of this for the shop immediately after tasting it.
