93% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo & 2% Colorino
ORGANICALLY FARMED
DECANTER 93 POINTS - "Marco called the 2022 harvest ‘a slalom’ between heavy showers at the end of September. He managed to get in most of the grapes for his annata before a localised hailstorm on the 29th. It saw less time in wood but longer before bottling, and was well worth the wait. Exhibiting spectacular purity and vivacity, the nose is a cornucopia of dark purple fruit scented with violet and lilac. This scrumptious mouthful is almost grapey in flavour with a ton of fruit sweetness. Black cherry and boysenberry meet plush, velvety tannins you can sink your teeth into. Succulent acidity buoys all that fleshiness, and hints of pepper flit throughout. A must-buy!"
VINOUS 92 POINTS - "The 2022 Chianti Classico is fabulous—one of the best of the year. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, rose petal and mint all race across the palate. Deep, layered and wonderfully sexy, the 2022 is utterly irresistible. It’s a superb effort from proprietor Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi. " - Antonio Galloni
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "A rich, dense style, displaying cherry, raspberry and blackberry flavors, with a hint of black pepper, while assertive tannins and lively acidity lend support. This is balanced, if a tad extracted, with fine length. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Drink now through 2032."
