A juicy and direct Chianti Classico with spiced cherries and plums on the palate, rounded by fluffy, creamy tannins. A little short, but quite pristine and unassumingly drinkable. An easy but nice daily sip with food. James Suckling July 2022

The nose is warm with aromas of soil, old leather, crushed stone and herbs, but a blackberry undertone provides pop. On the palate, that blackberry element is underscored by flavors of black cherry and oranges, while chalky tannins, more soil and a crackle of black pepper maintain balance. Wine Enthusiast
