  Finally cracked one. Solid if unspectacular CC. Not suremit justifies the price. A little sleek for Sangiovese but bright and open. Typical cherry and herbal notes. Will be interesting to follow the other bottles starting a year from now.

  A bit on the young side, but after opened and warmed up for an hour it developed more depth and was quite good with pasta Bolognese. Dark cherry and a lot of oak. Medium bodied, medium high acid, and some grippy tannins. Guessing it will be best in 2-3 more years.

  Youthful, fruit-forward, yet a joy to drink now. Soft cherry and cranberry on the palate. Even better on day two.

  Dark and powerful and earthy. Salty and mineral on the palate, lots of depth and gumption there. Just opened, monumental and magnificent.

  It’s shocking how good this was. Right away you can sense there is a bit more to this than your normale Chianti Classico. The 85% Sangiovese comes through nicely as it Carrie’s some welcome weight from the cab sauv. Was really impressed with this on the two times I tasted it. I liked it so much at the winery that I chose to drink this again over a 2018 Sammarco at dinner that same evening.
