Oct 13th, 2017Expecting more. The 2012 is very thin, almost watery. Some structure there but just not a lot of fruit to carry it. From other reviews, looks like other vintages may be a better bet.

Oct 31st, 2015Beautiful bouquet of sweet red strawberries that seemed to bloom after a few days opened. Mouth has red berries and eucalyptus and is pillowy soft. Traditional domesticated finessed Chianti.

Mar 30th, 2018Generally disappointing, thin, tart tasting. I've noticed over the last decade how generally uninteresting and characterless Italian wine has become. There's very little terroir or even grape or blend uniqueness. Gets better after a day or two open.
