Riserva Caparsino Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2019

Nice radda Chianti riserva but at this point at least not worth the $45+ price point over things like Istine or Tenuta Carleone at ~half the price or Boncie il Cinque at about the same price. Maybe in several years if it evens out? Gave it 3+ hours of air. Really a wonderful nose but the fruit doesn’t express that well and the tannins are a bit muddled. Nice refreshing acid on the finish though. — 15 days ago

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend 2018

This is an excellent CC. It has all you could want from an entry level wine. Beautifully balanced, with lovely dark cherry fruit, supporting tannins and the classic Sangiovese bite on the finish. — a year ago

Savory and earthy, more to be revealed in time I would think. So young. From Istine’s vineyard in Gaiole. — 3 years ago

Riserva Bugialla Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2021

Compared to the Istine more animalistic, a bit bolder and bigger. Nice side to side comparison — 3 months ago

Bianco Toscano 2021

Nice Tuscan white wine from a producer we like. Perhaps some skin contact based on the color and just a hint of grip. Not too mouth filling or intense and maybe slightly one note but still nice. — a year ago
