Velvety crushed-cherry nose, perfumed, and just the softest hint of polished leather. Still so bright and taut on the palate, damson tang and the savoury/sweet bite of a ripe tomato. Lightly braced by fine tannins. Benchmark Chianti. (TC)

Some berry and cherry character, with medium body and a light chewy finish. Drink now.

Castellina in Chianti. 95% Sangiovese, 5% Colorino. Cask sample. Oenologist Stefano Porcinai. Deep concentrated ruby. Rich, sweet nose of crushed fruit and cherry compote. Vanilla note. Juicy, succulent red and dark fruit, with quite big tannic frame. Shows real length and potential. (WS)
