 Tasted by kim@meko.ru on 4/14/2024 & rated 93 points: Very fruity, with spice and leather. Excellent chianti at best drinking point. (53 views)
 Tasted by quaffnov on 7/18/2020 & rated 92 points: Three hours of decant time, everything about this is on the savory side, with a nose filled with soy, herbs, cherry. The palate is complex, with all the tones of the nose making an appearance. The acidity is tart and the tannins are silky, with a well built mouthfeel resulting. Medium bodied, with a finish that stretches out for quite a while. (729 views)
 Tasted by Aleks Che on 8/12/2018 & rated 90 points: High minerality and tannins (1030 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 6/15/2015: This was excellent. Smooth mouthfeel, seems completely ready to drink right now. Extremely well balanced. Greg says that the structure is completely buried in the fruit presently. Amazing balance and symmetry. So utterly fine. Delicious. One of the best CCRs I’ve ever had. Old vines, single vineyard. Just terrific. Purchased in San Gimignano and enjoyed with Greg at Fietri, Gaiole in Chianti. (2433 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
