Critics reviews

Jane Anson MW 93/100
A dry but relatively fresh year, not as concentrated as the 2010 but it has finesse, with dried rosemary, cloves and tobacco notes. This has a chiselled and focused quality to the fruits, with Sangiovese character. At this point things were changing in the vineyard, with shoots left to grow rather than being cut back during the season, more bunches left on the vines to increase yield, and organic farming. Balanced, fresh, elegant, ready to drink. Moreish. Drink 2022 to 2038jane_anson_mw, janeanson_com (March 2022)
Drink 2022 - 2038
