Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 13, 2023 - Powerful nose of earthen strawberry, fine baking spices, tart cherries/cherry pie, density, more fruit than earth.

Palate of cherry pie, spices, citrus, fine cakes, some bitter of tannins.
There’s a component of wood, cooling of tobacco, essence of newly stitched leather, expensive English saddle for Ventasso, blood, drying spices of cured meats, white pepper.

The juice layers on the pepper with more sips and becomes more bloody, peppered prosciutto, humidor, Nicaraguan Tatuaje Nuevitas, (If paired here, you will find multiple similarities, but don’t recommend it as the puffs will taint your palate for days, but maybe not a bad thing as the swigs will prompt your palate into something stronger, say Dalmore 18.)

3 hours in the nose becomes more bloody, and its sanguine nature reflects the reason for the name of the varietal: Sangiovese.

Alte Valle Della Greve, the source, the rocky land where the blood of the gods are sucked out of the soil, where Chianti’s heart beats and this source all leave an imprint on its imbiber to feel its connection, to know why this was given, and in this moment give thanks to Vittorio Fiore for keeping these 80 year old vines the health to produce such a moment in eternity, where my soul can ruminate, connect and recognize this ancient vibration.
