Comprised of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot that was aged for 10 months in neutral oak, this medium-to-deep ruby wine offers an aromatic profile of raspberries, Montmorency cherries, violets, dried herbs and loamy earth. Medium-bodied and with good freshness, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas and stays solid on the mid-palate. The tannins and wood are nicely integrated, making for a supple yet energetic, medium-length finish. This can be popped and poured, not requiring extended aeration. Drink now-2029.

Solid journeyman Chianti, everything worked fruit, acid balance and tannin development, not particularly interesting but lovely with the food. Maybe a bit pricy for what you get.

Gambero Rosso Tasting (Doltone House, Sydney): Red cherry, sweet spice, a little plummy note. Fruit forward. Medium plus intensity acidity, sweet cherry fruit with a savoury underpin offering a touch of charcuterie, talc textured tannins, slight alcohol warmth on the finish. By itself probably a perfectly pleasant midweek quaffer but here it's a touch anonymous

Pleasant Chianti, easy drinking but not to my particular liking.

Lacking the acidity I normally associate with Sangiovese. Medium bodied, with some black cherry, mocha...maybe a bit of oak treatment.
