Canonica a Cerreto Chianti Classico Riserva 2018

"Youthful, rich dark fruit, berry and cassis aromas meld with notable French oak spice. On the palate, Valdisanti is full-bodied with deep but reserved fruit flavors framed by rich oak. The excellent balance of fruit intensity with fine tannins indicates a cellar worthy wine." —winemaker

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Cabernet Franc

"This wine has a complex character. It is elegant, dry and persistent, true to tradition. A classic harmony, intense its deep garnet colour. Well-balanced, forceful, with sour cherries, raisins and spices bouquet." —winemaker

"This rich release from Zeni hits all the marks we are looking for in a handmade, expressive example of Amarone. Deep ruby red with a garnet red tinge. Stylish and elegant with notes of preserved fruits and hints of cocoa and spices. Harmonic, complex and velvety." —winemaker

Blend: 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara

"Dark, garnet-edged ruby; scents of wild cherry, dried rose petals, and cocoa powder; well balanced, with supple tannins. Two years of aging in French barrique have helped to craft a layered, complex Amarone with syrupy richness in the mouth, sweet smoke overtones and aromas of bacon, cola, leather and dried fruit." —winemaker

"A medium intense nose of dark fruits, blackberries, some floral notes and a hint of spicy oak in the background. A light to medium rich body with a fine structure and balance." —winemaker

Blend: 60% Carignano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 10% Syrah

"Intense ruby red color with nuances of garnet, elegant aroma of ripe plum and hints of chocolate. Great harmony on the palate with silken tannins, harmonious, mature." —winemaker

"Dark ruby red colour with garnet nuances, aroma of sour red cherries and dried roses and cocoa. Warm, balanced, with soft tannins." —winemaker

"Montesecondo comprises two separate properties: both are biodynamically farmed and both lie in San Casciano in Val di Pesa at the northern edge of the Chianti Classico zone. The original family vineyard, generally referred to as "Montesecondo" or "Cerbaiai", is lower-altitude, warmer, gently cloped and with heavier clay soils near the town of Cerbaia; it is mainly Sangiovese with some co-planted Canaiolo and Colorino. The second part, referred to as "Vignano" for the name of its tiny hamlet, features parcels that are cooler, hillier, rich in limestone, up at 450 meters and north-facing. The Chianti is a blend of both parts of the estate, with proportions varying by vintage.  " —winemaker

 

"Marked tannins but very smooth, soft and structured, well blending with the woods with which it is refined." —winemaker
