Several important critics have rated this Chianti Classico wine highly.
Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Dark shining, rich ruby red. On the nose it is very spicy with notes of sage and marjoram, then juicy cherry fruit, in the aftertaste delicate iodine. On the palate it shows very juicy and accessible, opens on fresh fruit, coated with juicy tannin, punchy, very well integrated alcohol, slightly salty touch on the finish." - 92/100, Falstaff
