Winemakers' Tasting Notes
The color is golden amber and brilliant. The aroma hints at honey, toasted almond and vanilla. Sweet and rich taste, balanced by vibrant acidity. Very long persistent finish.
91 Points - James Suckling
A fresh, delicate Chianti Classico showing lots of typical character and brightness with orange-peel and bark undertones. Light to medium body, light tannins and a delicious, crisp finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
