 Tasted by fraliavin on 1/20/2023 & rated 90 points: Cherries, red berries, vanilla, tabacco, dry and tannic, well structured and nice finish. (707 views)
 Tasted by Harley1199 on 8/7/2022: By the glass. CCR. Another example of all the modernity way. The kingdom of intensity, extraction and imbalance. Long wine and tannic. What a bore of fashion.

Por copas. CCR. Otro ejemplo de modernidad en vena. El reino de la intensidad, la extracción y el desequilibrio. Vino largo y tánico. Qué aburrimiento de modas. (929 views)
 Tasted by Euge67 on 1/26/2022 & rated 88 points: Sicuramente un vino di carattere ad un buon prezzo: robusto, tannico, che rappresenta il territorio. Fatto bene. Però manca di eleganza e dopo un po' risulta pesante. I tannini si ingrossano il giorno dopo.
Forse, altri 3 anni in bottiglia potrebbero giovare. (969 views)
 Tasted by Hanibal on 6/15/2021 & rated 91 points: Had a nice fruit concentration but had grainy tannins needs a good decant if opened soon (1877 views)
 Tasted by Tim Heaton on 2/17/2020: Chianti Classico, Riserva, Gran Selezione, etc., new releases; 2/17/2020-2/18/2020 (Stazione Leopalda, Firenze): Anteprima Chianti Classico Collection, Florence

Elegant, full-ish, well-lifted, and set to improve in the short term, though its not going to make any really old bones, either. If I see this on a wine list, it's a pretty easy/safe decision. recommended

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.
