Old-school aged Chianti scents of iron, sandstone-scented gravel, sour cherry and underbrush. The first sip actually flashed me back to the last time I was in Italy (in the mid 89s!). A little advanced for a ‘14 but very nice. Soft and mouthfilling, with really nice balance. Terrific with my Sunday meat sauce. Drink up and enjoy.

95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo. Nice Chianti! Pairs well with a rich dish. Not too bright and finishes very well. SS

Old school! Nose is SweeTart cherry, dry gravel, and a dried floral note. Lean and crisp in the mouth, so cleansing with food. Long pure clingy finish.

Fuck McConnell, the Human Turtle.

Tasty stuff, flavors are slightly darker than I'd have guessed, but it's bright and marked by soil driven flavors.

Expensive for a basic Chianti but this is my favorite producer. Fresh bright 🍒 chalky and at that just a fantastic complement to simple Italian dishes. Perfect acidity.
