Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This elegant Sangiovese is a bottle of joy. Its delicate aromas are enticing, reminiscent of ripe raspberry, dried herbs, smoke, and cedar. The headline flavors are low key but delicious nonetheless, evoking layers of red berries and plums teamed up with multiple dried spice notes. For me, the flavor experience is enhanced by how this Chianti Classico feels. Medium bodied, velvety, bone dry, with moderate grippy tannin and fresh modest touch acidity.

This lovely creation is classified as Chianti Classico DOCG. Enjoy.

I’ll pair this with tomato sauces and salsas.
