Made near Panzano, in the famed “golden amphitheatre”—regarded as Chianti Classico’s best vineyard site—this is a gorgeous wine with bold, opulent characteristics and deeply penetrating aromas. It exhibits beautiful saturation of color and notes of plum, prune, resin, pine and natural rubber. The structure is solid and firm and so are the polished tannins.——M.L.(11/1/2007)—— 92
