  Nose is dark fruit.
  Palate dark and red fruits, med- to full body, lots of luscious dark fruit. Medium to long finish. Lovely with pizza and salad.

  Took about 45 minutes decanted to bring out the full flavor. Be patient and don’t drink it until then

  Decanted. Medium dark mulberry purple. Dusty red fruit, mulch, stone dust and light licorice root on the nose. Very smooth and nicely integrated. Medium bodied, tangy fruit, light tannin, very dry finish. Cool, lean, crisp red and black fruit on the palate, brisk acidity, slightly astringent, some leather, iron and squeeky tannins. A bit linear and lean this time around. Only 89 points

  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.

  Nose: Fruity, forest notes.
  Palate: smooth, long finish, light tannins. Dark fruits. Perfectly paired with spaghetti, marinara and broiled Puglese bread.
