Reviews

Vinous Media 92

The 2021 Chianti Classico is superb. Bright and vibrant, the 2021 has plenty of fruit behind its lively acids. Dark red/purplish berries, crushed rocks, lavender and rose petal are some of the many notes that inform this explosive, deep Chianti Classico. The 2021 is a stellar wine, especially with a bit of air.

Wine Spectator 91

This red is highlighted by juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors, with earth and iron accents. Firms up on the lively, persistent finish. Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo.

James Suckling 91

A crunchy red with aromas of dried flowers, cherry stones, red plums and lemon leaves. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins and a textured, rustic finish. Drink now or hold.
