Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Bright, showing notes of cherries, raspberries, currants and grape must. Medium body, soft tannins and a medium-relaxing finish. Drink now"
91/100 points, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com, February 2024
"A textbook Chianti Classico, offering a fragrant juxtaposition of damp earth and spring flowers on a well-padded background of redcurrants, cranberries and sour cherries. Tightly knit with an elegant frame of light, powdery tannins and firm, steely acidity. Very impressive indeed."

Food Match: Prosciutto ham or pasta al pomodoro, meat in tomato based sauces
