| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by oakville72 on 12/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Much more accessible now than 2 years ago. Deeply colored with some aging showing on the rim. Exotic nose blending Sangiovese plumminess with old-wood cask aging. Definitely of a traditional style. Drinking well now, but due to tannins present in the finish, it still has a few more years to fully mature.
(10/24/2021) Tasted after 3 hours of air. Pretty rough and tumble. Old cask wood is apparent. Also acidity and tannins. Fruit is there, but just lurking underneath. Needs lots of time. (2575 views) | | | Tasted by thomaslangberg on 11/17/2023 & rated 91 points: Unleashed potential. Dont drink yet, extreme tannins but nice fruit. (637 views) | | | Tasted by Ulveström on 2/20/2022 & rated 89 points: Nice acidity, sour cherry and after a while tobacco. Medium body, quite easy on the tannic structure. (4579 views) | | | Tasted by vinero on 12/27/2021 & rated 92 points: On the young side, with pronounced acidity and a long, tannic finish. Quite a character. Nice! (1614 views) |

| Abbadia Ardenga Producer WebsiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
