Tasted it about 2 years ago. Now it’s showing greater harmony, revealing layers of dark cherry, plum, rose, and cedar framed by supple yet still assertive tannins. The oak has begun to meld, allowing earthy spice and truffle nuances to emerge. From the lesser-known Grinzane Cavour, its muscular core is balanced with poise and depth, promising further refinement over the next few years. — 8 days ago

Tangerine and grapefruit, great crisp, finish, with some heft…a treat with fresh Spanish mackerel — 2 months ago

A World Class single vineyard Sangiovese from the elevated Chianti appellation east of Florence and Chianti Classico.

With a gorgeous, deep garnet appearance, teasing tertiary aromatics and flavors, the earthy 2009 is medium/full, deep, robust, still solidly structured and balanced with ample acidity and light, dusty tannins. — 3 months ago

This wine is so hard to rate. You either love or hate it. It’s almost a dessert wine with the sweetness it displays right from the bottle.

Early on, it had some depth and tannin to balance the sweetness and provide for some cherry and good fruit.

As it decanted and sat, it seemed to get sweeter as tannins faded.

This wine needed strong cheese to really balance it.

It was the favorite for some but then avoided by others. You have to really enjoy the sweetness without sugar. — 7 days ago

Aug 2025: aeration in open bottle during 2 hours while sipping. Awesome, very elegant, deep and structured, amazing nose and long aftertaste. Best Gattinara I ever had. At peak — 6 years ago
