  I totally agree with the previous tasting notes. A really nice mid-weight CdP from a traditional producer (GSM-blend) and already really accessible. There are red fruits, interesting aromas of spices and a good touch of acid. But there is also a little heat. Probably because of the lighter texture. Absolutely ok but no great CdP like some of it´s peers.

  A really great Bolgheri Superiore entering it´s prime drinking window. Red and black fruits, spices and earth in a really good harmony. Not sure about the exact grape varities cause the informations in the internet are not consistent. Sometines it is only Cab. Sauvignon and Cab. Franc and sometimes there is also Merlot and Petit Verdot. But anyway. Really good wine. The QPR is not great but absolutely ok in my opinion.

  Really great 100% Sangiovese from a vineyard planted with 36 different clones of Sangiovese. The vineyard is located in a warm part of the Castello di Fonterutoli. It is relatively full bodied for a 100% Sangiovese an in-between a Chianti and Brunello. Not really complex but fruit forward an drinking extremely well. Everyone liked it very much.
  
  Note: Now the Mix 36 is named Vicoregio 36 and labeled as Chianti Classico Gran Selezione.
