Le Cinciole

Der historische Chianti Classico Le Cinciole ist das "Flaggschiff" des Unternehmens und reift überwiegend in mittelgroßen Fässern aus Sommereiche. Florale Aromen und der Duft nach hellen roten Früchten, mit Untertönen von Tabak, Laub und Menthol, die sich im Glas zu einem gelungenen Terroirwein entwickeln, der die Duftigkeit und die Primäraromen des jungen Sangiovese bewahrt. Angenehm mittelgewichtig und authentisch. SUPERIORE.DE

"Le Cinciole's 2014 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Translucent, weightless and silky, the Chianti Classico is a terrific example of the year. Lifted aromatics and bright, acid-driven, red-toned Sangiovese fruit are the signatures. In 2014, the Chianti Classico is all finesse." VINOUS

"A firm and silky red with plum and tile character. Medium body, firm and velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Delicious now." James Suckling

"Aged in large oak casks (20 hl) for one year, then one year in concrete tanks. Mid cherry red. Dusty, peppery and vibrant. Really juicy, some might find the acidity too much but it is well balanced by the fruit on the mid palate. Slightly severe on the finish and would be better at the table." Jancis Robinson

"Made from organically farmed fruit, the 2015 Chianti Classico is a lush and fruit-forward expression. You get generous layers of sweet cherry, blackberry, mild spice and crushed river stone. This wine offers the softness and supple richness—as well as the bright freshness—usually identified with the Panzano in Chianti subzone." Robert Parker

"Shows real purity of fruit with blueberries, citrus, cedar and some tar. Medium to full body, tight and grippy tannins and a tangy, medium-long finish. A beautiful Chianti Classico in the making." James Suckling

Die tiefgründige Chianti Classico Riserva, zu 100 Prozent aus Sangiovese gekeltert, verströmt mit roten Beeren, Blumen, Gewürzen und Lakritze einen angenehm warmen Duft. Am Gaumen eine intensive Fruchtigkeit in reizvoller, feiner Textur und mit großer Balance aus Süße, Säure und Tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit leicht hellem Rand. Fein gezeichnete Nase, nach Veilchen und Himbeere, im Hintergrund Kirschkerne und frische Haselnüsse. Rund und geschmeidig am Gaumen, zeigt viel süße Fruchtfülle, nach Brombeeren und Zwetschgen, feinmaschiges, präsentes Tannin, lange und klar." Falstaff

"Lots of dried raspberries, ash, peppermint and cedar spring from the glass. Full body, ripe and round tannins and a medium-chewy finish." James Suckling

"Showing mid-weight consistency and a nicely saturated appearance, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Aluigi is a tart and tonic expression of Sangiovese with a pretty succession of wild berry, blue flower and moist chewing tobacco aromas. The wine is earthy and healthy in personality with nice brightness and intensity." Robert Parker

"The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Aluigi is a very beautiful wine. Succulent red cherry fruit, spice and floral notes abound, but it is the wine's texture and persistence that stand out most. Nuanced and silky on the palate, with terrific fruit purity, the 2013 is positively stellar. I imagine it will be even better in another few years. Even so, it is striking today." VINOUS

Feinste Selektion von Sangiovese-Trauben gewonnen aus den besten Lagen. Petresco reift 18 Monate in Barriques und erreicht so eine großartige Tiefgründigkeit, Harmonie und Komplexität. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dried berries, fresh herbs and flowers follow through to a medium body, firm, silky tannins and a juicy finish. Some balsamic and spice undertones. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2013 Petresco represents specially selected Sangiovese grapes from a single vineyard site in Panzano in Chianti. This is an impressive wine that pushes those Sangiovese color and concentration limits to their maximum extreme. The wine opens to inky darkness with ripe aromas of dried blackberry and blackcurrant. Those fleshy dark fruit flavors are framed by spice, smoke and tobacco." Robert Parker

"The 2013 Petresco, the estate's top Sangiovese, is superb. Layers of fruit fill out the wine's ample frame effortlessly. The 2013 needs time to develop its full breadth of aromatics and overall nuance. Even so, it is beautifully resonant today, not to mention incredibly inviting." VINOUS

Camalaione - eine kräftige Cuvée aus Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot und Syrah - duftet nach dunklen Früchten, Menthol, Rauch, Lakritze und gerösteter Eiche. Tief und dicht, mit hervorragender Persistenz und bemerkenswerter Entwicklung im Glas. SUPERIORE.DE

"There is a freshness and brightness to this 2012 with plenty of fruit and walnut, wet earth and sweet tobacco character. Full body, chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. One for now and the cellar. Made from organic grapes." James Suckling

"The 2012 Camalaione, the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, is fabulous. Deep, rich and explosive, it possesses tremendous intensity in all of its dimensions. An exotic mélange of plum, lavender and spice develops with time in the glass. Camalaione balances its international-leaning personality with a more classic midweight structure that balances things out very nicely. The creamy, resonant finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal." VINOUS
