  June 24, 2023 - One of my favorite Chiantis. The ‘17 edition came about during a somewhat challenging vintage for growers in Chianti. The result is a more fruit forward Passignano than I usually get from this producer with a darker fruit profile than most chiantis. Lovely nose with cassis, dark cherries, a hint of strawberry against a mild backdrop of warm moss. The palate matches the nose; the fruit feels ripe but nicely balanced against medium acidity and creates a great texture and highly enjoyable wine. The wine was decanted to rid of a small amount of sediment in the bottle and drank about an hour later. Super effort, but not one for the long haul.
