Spot-on Chianti Classico. Brims with bright red cherry fruit, sour cherries, cranberries and hints of herbs. Any wood flavours are suitably well in the background. Lively acidity (as there should be for CC) and mellowing tannin. Seems to be at its peak now though no rush I would say. Lovely wine and very keenly priced. Tasted March 2022.

100% Sangiovese. The fragrant, highly aromatic nose offers enticing rose floral, red and black cherry aromas joined by cinnamon, sweet spices, and leather notes. The medium+ bodied, juicy palate is fresh, spicy and a touch warming with cherry, spices, and clove, and leather flavours with touches of dried herb. Well-integrated tannins have a pleasantly subtle, textured grip, while fresh acids are slightly tart and limey. Chocolatey oak with touches of mineral linger on the finish, with excellent length. Tasted Aug/2020.
