Very enjoyable. Rich and full bodied, a soft initial mouth feel followed by a good sense of structure, shows well integrated tannin. Dark, almost stewed fruit (in a positive way). The Sangiovese and Cab Save come together well in this interesting wine that reminded me of a Puglian Primitivo in some respects. — 6 years ago
Oxidative, port-like nose and showing a deep but bright golden color with orange hues. Making a striking first impression of freshly baked apple pie, complete with brown sugar, cinnamon and clove accents. Honey, almond, hazelnut, orange marmalade notes emerging but with a sense of freshness and lift. Very dry on the palate with moderate alcohol and med + viscosity, not at all heavy. Lean and supple on the mid palate, the wine is showing good movement and texture with some tannic grip which no doubt is the result of a skin maceration that probably lasted 2 or 3 days. 70 % Grieco di Castel Venere/30 % Cerreto. Good luck remembering that. Surprisingly fresh and vibrant for an orange wine. Worth seeking out. — 7 years ago

Got this wine direct from the vineyard and love the memories from it. Caramel, rum and deep fruit flavors with a nice tannin finish — 9 years ago

French vintage aroma, because French oak which is small are used, and for longer period due to reserva. SV90 MLT10. Classico only from Gallo nero, where the regulation to be classified as Chianti is SV>88% while in other areas, >70. Calm, elegant SV but with fruity and concentration with balanced tanning. Later on a bit spicy can be felt. @,, 180727, 181003 — 7 years ago

A nice soft fragrance of dark cherry, vanilla and strawberry. Drinks very smoothly with flavors of spice, dark berries/cherry. Opens up very nicely once it breathes and is easy to drink! — 6 years ago
Tastes good. Ethereal Sangiovese aroma, it settles down into a composed, harmonious and refined Chianti. It has no artificial superficiality that plagues most wines these days and offers the very essence of what good wine is about. — 6 years ago
