  Certified Organic since 2009; sangiovese 95%, canaiolo 5%; The nose is complex with some bright red fruit, but leather, wood, balsamic and baking spice notes stand out more. The palate is medium-bodied, balanced and rather elegant for a Chianti. Cherry fruit. Good acidity from front to back.

  I’m not too sure about this one. Drank it over two days. On the first day there was an overwhelming potpurri aroma of rose petals that I found off putting. The next day was much better, still had aromas of rose but no longer overwhelming the red berries. Pleasant acidity and balanced tannins, with flavours of cranberry and strawberry. I personally prefer Chianti’s with a bit more spice and earthiness, but might give this another try based on the second day.

  Deep purple. Nose of vanilla and raspberries with a feint hint of leather and cigar boy. Medium drying tannins with initially low acidity that came on stronger with time in the glass, with primary fruit of blackberry front of palate.

  Decanted 1 1/2 hours before serving. Medium garnet color. Nose was still reserved even after the decant. Eventually opened a bit to deliver notes of red fruits, raspberry syrup, and some light tobacco. Still all of these were rather feint. Medium bodied with grippy tannins, and flavors of tart cherries turning into nice red fruits especially sweet raspberries. Great, but I think it would have been better with a longer decant.
