April 9, 2023 - Fresh & mineral with flavours of sour cherries and cranberries. Dry and savoury there was a hint of sweetness supported with velvety ripe tannins, and finishing off with a classic upturned slightly bitter finish. Perhaps lacking a little complexity, possibly because I served it too cool, this ticked all the boxes for the classic Chianti style I love. CHP 88 pts

March 11, 2023 - A savoury entry supported flavours of dried cranberries and cherries, shot through with a streak of acidity and surprisingly mellow tannins. The sweet fruit develops complexity, finishing on a fully dry note. From a fine vintage and drinking superbly it had that classic Italian sweet/savoury balance. Drinking superbly. CHP 90 pts

January 14, 2023 - This followed the Riecine and although not quite as good, this was still a very satisfying chianti, with some almondy red fruits and a nice grip.

August 20, 2022 - An initial burst of sour cherries is followed by prunes and chocolate underpinned with gentle ruffled tannins. It broadens out nicely on the palate and altogether rather delicious. 89 pts
