Panzano (Greve in Chianti). Youthful mid crimson. Brooding nose with a hint of dried fruit. Very prettily built with plenty of tangy fruit and firm, grainy tannins. Wonderful style and length.

“A dense and velvety wine with black chocolate and cherry character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Altogether delicious. So well done and from organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” (Aug 2016) www.jamessuckling.com
