Black cherry, blackberry, strawberry, plum, dried oregano, and violet permeate this detailed red. Solidly structured with fine harmony, expression, and length revealing woodsy and underbrush elements. Long, flavorful, dense, and characterful finish. From organically grown grapes. 95 points
If you're skipping the turkey for wild game, roast beef tenderloin, grilled steaks, braised proteins, hearty charcuterie spread (or planning to have any of these on the menu this winter!), then this is the exceptional bottle to pour alongside.
The 19th-century Chianti estate is managed by the family's fifth generation now and earned their certified organic status in 2011. This 100% sangiovese from their premier single-cru monopole is a special treat for winter menus and gift giving.
