"Balsamic glaze with a certain meatiness shows on the nose of this wine, along with soil, cherries, rose petals and bitter orange jam. The palate offers more cherry plus oaky notes of vanilla, milk chocolate and spice. Tannins are easygoing but stand at attention, ready for sipping right now. - Danielle CALLEGARI"

"Black cherries, walnuts and black chocolate with a hint of red tile. It’s full-bodied with juicy fruit and a savory undertone to the burnt-citrus character. Opulent, yet reserved at the same time. Gorgeous. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is slightly deeper ruby-hued and brings a touch more density and depth, with ripe black and red fruits, savory Mediterranean herbs, spicy wood, and graphite-driven aromatics. It's rich, medium-bodied, and concentrated, with ripe tannins and a great finish. Aged two years all in oak, drink bottles through 2031."

"A very fine riserva with black-cherry, walnut with some cedar aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with lovely tension and a fresh finish. Racy and refined. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
