Chianti like you never tried before. Juicy, bright, elegant and always delicious.

TECHNICAL

VINEYARD

Fruit sourced from Vinci near Empoli. Vineyard about 12 years of age and south-west facing.

WINEMAKING

Two ferments. 100% whole bunch (carbonic maceration) and the other 100% de-stemmed fruit. 9 days on skins then pressed to cement vats for malolactic fermentation where it remained for a further 8 months prior to bottling.

TASTING

Dark ruby red in colour, the palate shows dark cherry and earthy elements. Classic ‘al dente’ tannins and savoury finish. A beautiful wine, anytime of the year.

WINE REVIEWS

Quite shy initially, but a vigorous swirl reveals plum and dark cherry fruit alongside flickers of rosemary, camphor, bark and black olive, lending a savoury edge. The palate is bright and clean, with dark cherry fruit at the fore, supported by notes of red rose, camphor, dried herbs and hints of tapenade. The tannins are particularly appealing — both firm and pliable — providing a nicely judged frame through a finish of solid length. A lovely expression of Chianti at a modest price point.
