This Chianti Classico wine has received good scores from various critics.
Critic tasting note: (2015 vintage) "Medium deep ruby red colour. Some maturity on the nose, meaty and peppery notes with dried cherry and red fruit. The palate is rather dense and youthful with grippy tannin, a fresh backbone, fresh red fruit and spice flavours leading to a long finish. Finely built in a classic style, still needing time to show its full potential." - 91/100, Andreas Larsson - Tasted
