Winery Review: Produced exclusively from grapes frown on the estate and showcases winemaker Alessio Carli's talent with the grape. Growing up in Tuscany, Alessio watched his father make Chianti and later honed his skills as the renowned Badia a Coltibuono. Out Estate Sangiovese tastes of cranberry and intense Bing cherry with undertones of anise and lingering finish. The depth and complexity of this wine has made it an annual best seller and the ultimate companion to great Italian cuisine. Typical of this varietal, our Sangiovese vines have matured and we have been rewared by increasingly rich fruit.
My Review: I did not like this wine at all. It was very different than any other wine that I have ever tasted. The bouquet of the wine was very other powering with spices, as well as the state of the wine. It is very hard for me to describe the taste of the wine because the flavors are so different. I think it would be a very interesting wine to try again after expanding my palate.
