  Fine typical CC. Good fruit/acid/tannin balance.
  Drink now-2030
  Now it is very primary, but seems to have structure to evolve into a more mature CC

  October 10, 2023 - Good wine, predominantly Sangiovese blend with an addition of around 5% Merlot. Ruby color with a slight garnet reflection, showing a nice extraction. On the nose, there are notes of cherry, black cherry, raspberry, and vanilla, with a more floral hint of violet and geranium. In the mouth, there's a present tannin due to the combination of wood and fruit. It still has room for improvement and can evolve over the next 3/4 years. The persistence is beautiful, and the acidity is quite pronounced. An example of an 'internationalized' Chianti, but not overripe or dominated by wood. Overall, it's a balanced wine with good aging potential, even though it's the winery's entry-level offering.
  
  Bel vino, blend a prevalenza sangiovese con un aggiunta di merlot intorno al 5%. Colore rubino con un leggero riflesso granato, una bella estrazione. Al naso ciliegia, amarena, lampone e vaniglia, una nota più floreale di violetta e geranio. In bocca un tannino presente dato dal mix del legno e del frutto. Ancora può migliorare molto ed evolvere nei prossimi 3/4 anni. bella la persistenza e l'acidità molto spiccata. Un esempio di chianti classico "internazionalizzato" ma non surmaturo o dominato dal legno. Nel complesso è un vino equilibrato e con un buon potenziale di invecchiamento pur essendo il livello base della cantina.
