Wine-Searcher.com: in the article ‘Chianti's Top Tier Grows Up’ wine writer W.

In the oldest vineyards the Sangiovese - so delicate, sensitive, capricious but resolute - has unsheathed its defenses and has brilliantly recovered even under stress. It will tell us about this vintage too. What an extraordinary grape! The fermentations take...
