So balanced, so complex, fruit, leather, spice. Everything you want in Chianti. The rating on delectable is shocking for price. — a month ago

Quite medium pale ruby rim, wide garnet rim . Spiced red cherries , quite reserved , and some herbal balsamic , saline hints. On the palate more of the slightly herbal , earthy red cherry , strawberry . Fine and refined , quite fresh acidity and gritty tannins . Good length Needs time but shows good promise and excellent balance . Come back in 5 years , will drink well for a further 5-10. At Vinous Icons NY, Pier 60 , Feb 2025 — 2 months ago

I found this to be a solid Chianti… a classic Classico.

Tart or maybe sour apple / cherry. Firm tannins. A touch of salt.

At worst, a touch unremarkable. But overall, enjoyable. Interesting lower scores from the gallery.

Makes me question myself…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — 10 months ago

Another great Alto Piemonte producer that needs to be on your nebbiolo radar!

Drank over two days, this really got going on day two with the structure and typicity of Nebbiolo coming through. Day one it drank a little more primary, velvety fresh with rich red fruits, florals, and a softer feel to the texture - extremely enjoyable! Day 2 the structure of the tannin and acidity really came through, with the nose ratcheting things up with roses, currants, a touch of tar, spices and blood orange peel. Texturally it gained fortitude as well with everything perfectly integrated and in harmony.

Definitely getting more!

From the family at Isole e Olena in Castellare Chianti Classico in Tuscany - the family is of Piemonte in origin and this is the legacy of the family there in Coste della Sesia. — 3 years ago
