Medium ruby, lovely herbaceous and earthy notes on the nose, very dark fruits. Taste - wonderful acidity, herbal and silky smooth tannins. Superb balance of flavors, with prominent fruit flavors of dark cherry and cranberry. Easy drinking but not without complexity, this wine has a delightful lingering cranberry finish, almost unctuous, just fantastic all around. Paired brilliantly with lasagna. A real treat, a big surprise and a beautiful wine.

I probably undersold this wine last time, or it has developed a bit. I'm not a big Chianti fan, but the rusticity seems to have subsided here, and the cherry core is rather appealing.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like prune, fig, cherry, plum, pineapple, mineral, bark, phenolic, ivy, stems, almond, molasses and brettanomyces.

Good option for a relaxed pizza evening with family. Not particularly intense or complex on the nose, but it’s very easy going and well balanced on the palate, with good energy and lovely cherry and plum fruit flavours. I liked it more than I expected to given its youth. Good value and would drink again.

Dry, rustic, herbal, ripe cherry wrapped in fine-grained tannins. Very Chianti.

Chianti as Chianti is. Great value and well fit for a traditional tomato sauce pasta.

Un bon vin italien. Un bon choix pour accompagner un plat de pâtes ou une pizza
