95% Sangioveseandnbsp;andamp; 5% Colorino. This entry level Classico is one of the most consistently satisfying in the category. Thereand#39;s all the earth andamp; spice that youand#39;d expect on the nose, and on the palate the wine shows bright cherry fruit, intense minerality, firm but finessed tannins and admirable length. Itand#39;s comfortably medium bodied, but shows a nice savory side and excellent depth. A treat to drink now but has the structure to improve over the next 5 years.

Tuscan tour continues w this gem. Sour cherry and crisp apple carries into a bitter arugula-y pepper.

Very old school. Lean, lively acids, even a little volatile, savory, minerally flavors but with tart macerated cherry there. Nice with chicken cacciatore.

Liked this stuff. Dusty clay cherries that were both fresh and sun dried, with balsamic note. Vibrant and balanced.

That's a pretty classic Chianti Classico. Juicy cherry and dust and earthy warmth right through the middle. Because it's mostly done in concrete rather than old wood, it trades a bit of the balsamic-y oxidative note for really bright freshness. Works for me, but your palate may wish the percentages were reversed.

Sour cherry, tart, on the lighter side. Could be bolder.
