Sublime, succulent Chianti from the cool, aromatic 2016 vintage. These high altitude vineyards produce some of the freshest, most textbook Chianti's around. The estate is TINY by Chianti standards, with less than 7ha under vine, and each vine is staked Northern Rhône style, painstakingly trellised individually.

Aged in large, neutral oak barrels in a traditional style. High-toned aromatics including blood orange are on display, a medium-full bodied frame with smoked meat, black olive and rosemary to complement the red fruits, solid acidity and tannin. It is a unique style in Chianti born of a unique terroir, and it possesses a cool elegance that makes it immediately drinkable and very pleasurable though it will age well.
