Description

A Supertuscan made from a single vineyard Merlot originally planted in 1967 on a northeastern slope on the hills of Villa Calcinaia at Greve in Chianti. The organoleptic analysis of this wine reveals a deep and intense color. The bouquet is faint at first but gradually expands and increases in volume thanks to the oxygenation provided by the steering of the glass. On the palate the wine provides a firm and smooth structure and the tannins remind us that this Merlot “chianteggia”.

Production method

Harvested by hand from a single vineyard. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels.

Rating

91/100 James Suckling – “Plenty of sliced red cherries and cherry pie come to the fore immediately here as well as cigar box undertones. Full-bodied, fine in terms of tannins and rich on the finish. Drink now or hold”.”
