Beautiful black cherry, mint, licorice and leather aromas mostly reflected on palate. Dark fruit but still quite lively. Only quibble is it is a bit short, but at 19 years that is remarkable. — 8 years ago

Almost a perfect sangiovese rosè by Il Palazzino from Monti in Chianti, one of my favorite vineyards around, such a mystic spot! Fruity crisp choice and... finished too quickly! — 10 years ago

This is probably my favorite wine ever. It was recommended to me at a little Italian restaurant in Prague. I bought 3 bottles to take home. I would have bought a case if I hadn't been on foot. — 7 years ago

Rich and explosive, Il Palazzino’s 2010 Chianti Classico Argenina bursts from the glass with ripe dark cherry, plum, smoke and Mediterranean herbs. Chiantis from the Monti sub-zone of Gaiole always play off depth and structure, as is the case here. (AG) — 8 years ago

Intense, high tannins, hints of berries and licorice - had it with the perfect tagliatelle mari e monti prepared by my wife Amel - tagliatelle, Piedmontese porcini mushrooms, squid, octopus and shrimps in tomato reduction. Full body, 13 degrees, full and intense. — 8 years ago

90% Chardonnay and 10% Gruner make this a complex gem! All the oak (it was aged in an oak barrel), full, smoothness of a Chardonnay with the complexity of a Gruner (and low acidity). — 9 years ago
