Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A lovely Chianti from a reliable producer. Aromas of red cherry, dried herbaceous notes, violets, earth and leather. Medium bodied, bright, mouthwatering acidity and a lovely flavour profile blending red berry hints and earthy flavours. Enjoy with any rustic Italian dishes.
Santa Margherita 2017 Chianti Classico is an approachable and food-friendly Chianti with bright cherry, pink florals, violets, savoury herb flavours with a touch of spice on the finish. Tannins are velvety. Enjoy now with a meat-lover's pizza. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
