A blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo that embodies the essence of Chianti Classico.'' 97 Points, Luca Gardini (Previous Vintage Review)

''The Chianti Classico is gorgeous. This races across the palate with lively red-toned fruit, dried flowers, minerals and cedar.

''This is what Sangiovese (called Sangioveto here) and Chianti Classico are all about. Don't miss it.'' Vinous Media
