This wine, along with Corzano e Paterno’s top of the line 100% Sangiovese ‘I Tre Borri’ were two of the first Chianti’s that that piqued my interest and demonstrated the potential of this beautiful variety.
Fresh zippy acid, red cherry, excellent tannins with a little playful grip and spice. Delicious. Grape first. Earthy profile with dark fruit of energy and vibrancy a little perfume floats over the top ~ violets me thinks. Layered delicious and vibrant an excellent comparison to
Harmony, balance, grape first, fun wine.
Energetic fruit. Fine, long, linear tannins run the length fo the palate. Red fruit, sour cherry with an earthy twist. Juicy, crunchy, fresh, thirsty quenching with a nice bit of development.
A bloody tasty expression of Sangiovese. It shows a hell of a lot of comfort and clarity of thought in their winemaking from this young duo.
Buy a straight 6 pack we'll throw in a bottle of Cigliano EVOO while stocks last.
I love the Cigliano di Sopra
Exceptional core of fruit, a beautiful 2020 with length and energy. Excellent mid-palate weight and persistence. As with the Il Corzano time will be required for this to resolve. Still quite tight with a little whole bunch grip. Earthy layers, dark and brooding with energy.
Give this time and it will take us to a happy place.
Already starting to open in the glass. Maceration notes of graphite, pencil shaving, heading to truffle. A little perfume dancing over the top. The faintest line
This is going to be a fascinating vintage to follow at Antinori. There are so many Super Tuscans made from Bordeaux varieties that do my head in. Somehow, they just don't get it right.
Solaia is not one of them. Antinori kick out some exceptional vino under this label!
They continue to push and build silky tannins and finesse into the mouthfeel, with a focus on energy and vibrancy over the last few years.
Seems everyone else agrees with me on this one too!
Antinori have added another
