Unmistakable interpretation of the Chianti Classico: sparkling ruby colour with a pronounced garnet hue. Very inviting aroma of cherries and delicate meadow herbs, with a nutty touch. Medium-bodied on the palate, again wonderfully juicy fruit, cool, mineral style, very finely structured and balanced, with lively animo, lingers quite long and makes you want the next glass. The perfect accompaniment to Italian dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, shiny ruby red colour. Smells of ripe cherries and some sugared blackberries on the nose, open-hearted, with a violet aftertaste. On the palate with savoury tannins, juicy texture, full-bodied, shows plenty of persistence." Falstaff

"The 2022 Chianti Classico is gracious, elegant and polished, as these wines so often are. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint, pine and light citrus overtones exalt the natural brightness of Sangiovese. This translucent, weightless Chianti Classico is a real beauty." Vinous

"The estate's only Chianti Classico bottling that goes beyond the Annata categorisation shows Sangiovese in its purest form. It captures the freshness and clarity of the cool, wooded hillsides even in this hot, dry vintage. In addition to the marvellous aromas of cardamom, juniper and orange peel, it is the palate that shines here. It is medium-bodied with crisp redcurrant, raspberry and tangy mineral notes. The chalky tannins are long and layered, holding on in all the right places and giving the wine a dramatic texture. It finishes with energy and vibrancy." Decanter
