"There’s a freshness and zesty character to this Chianti Classico, with notes of oranges, cherries and sandalwood. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy finish. Tannins are very bright" 96/100 James Suckling 2024

"Gentle and pretty in its fragrances, this is decidedly red-fruited. It offers currants and raspberry with a suggestion of porcini and espresso. It feels mid-weight yet fills the mouth, its long, fine, sandy tannins making for an elegant flow. Mineral-tinged with tangy acidity, this demonstrates the succulent character of Sangiovese". 93/100 Decanter 2024
