This comes from the southern part of Castelnuovo Berardenga, a warmer part of Chianti Classico that leads to generous fruit tones that quickly develop leather and tobacco accents, and softer tannins in the mouth; nevertheless, calcareous soils contribute to a vigorous, firm structure of acidity and tannins to frame and support it all.
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - " Fairly complex, but still bright, with spiced red plums and cherries, bark, leather and a hint of mushroom savoriness. Quite integrated and silky with a medium to full body, rounded by firm but velvety tannins. Long, yet subtle and fruit-expressive. Already delicious now, but you should hold this for two years and wait for additional complexity to emerge."
