Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This creation’s lively scents of red berries, clay pot, savoury spice and cedar introduced a dry palate accented with supple tannins, red cherry, raspberry and white pepper. Medium bodied, this red blend was crafted with hand harvested sangiovese and canaiolo within Radda, one of Chianti Classico’s nine communes. Serve with an herbed, hearty stew. Enjoy.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
