Delicate and nuanced for a Chianti. Fresh and bright. Tannins are fine grained and small scaled and drrive the back end of the wine but also a little angular and drying. There is still the pinching I noticed in February. Long. I like this very much. Initially I thought this not quite as convincing as either of the prior two vintages but an hour later it seemed more complete..

This s the "Grassi et Figlio" bottling. Dark red hue but quite pale. Beautifully open nose of soft red sour cherry fruits. Juicy on the palate but also quite lean Just a touch pinched the back end. Certainly fresh. Medium weight. 13%. Elegant. Powdery tannin, very slightly drying. The high altitude shows I think. My style of Chianti. Very good indeed.

Tense and fresh, lots of tart juicy fruit, clean mineral and herbal tones, a little bloody and savory. On the lean and elegant side of Chianti, this is always a very fresh style.

Tasted at The Great Italian Walkabout, host by Tenuta Park90.
Didn’t have time for the wine tasting notes. Only the scores.
