I found this to be a solid Chianti… a classic Classico.
Tart or maybe sour apple / cherry. Firm tannins. A touch of salt.
At worst, a touch unremarkable. But overall, enjoyable. Interesting lower scores from the gallery.

Another great Alto Piemonte producer that needs to be on your nebbiolo radar!
Drank over two days, this really got going on day two with the structure and typicity of Nebbiolo coming through. Day one it drank a little more primary, velvety fresh with rich red fruits, florals, and a softer feel to the texture - extremely enjoyable! Day 2 the structure of the tannin and acidity really came through, with the nose ratcheting things up with roses, currants, a touch of tar, spices and blood orange peel. Texturally it gained fortitude as well with everything perfectly integrated and in harmony.
Definitely getting more!
