"Sangiovese makes up most of this blend. It's an authentic chianti classico, explained Andrea. He added, 'This is a very typical taste of sangiovese, with cherry, violet, and iris. We have a hint of barrel aging but we want this wine to be prominently about the fruit of sangiovese.' He then said, 'This is a lovely job, but you have to work hard'."- Jane Clare

The current vintage is fresh and vibrant boasting notes of cooked strawberry, violets and hints of sweet spices. Great acidity and balance with a lingering finish. Superb value. - Tom Whitehouse, OWC
