I Castagni (the chestnut trees) is a beautiful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Teroldego (a native grape of northern Italy) that ages 18 months in barrique to achieve impressive richness, density and persistency. The aromas include crushed stone, ripe berry, blackberry, coffee, tar and chocolate.

Here’s a pure expression of Syrah from coastal Tuscany that lays on intense aromas of smoked bacon, bresaola, cherry fruit, spice, blackberry and black pepper. The wine shows amazing intensity and persistency on the close.

Here’s an elegantly oak aged Sangiovese with simple but bright fruit tones of cherry, blueberry and raspberry. There’s plenty of spice, cola and cured meat at the back and the wine ends with fresh acidity and smooth tannins.

Piastraia is a luscious and decadent wine with a plush, smooth mouthfeel. This blend of Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon opens with focused mineral tones backed by cherry, blackberry and spice.

This is made from a curious 70-20-10 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Teroldego (an indigenous grape of northern Italy). The results include black currant, lead pencil, green spice, natural rubber, smoked bacon and lingering blueberry. With its thick, chewy succulence, jackhammer tannins and amazing length, it will hold 20 years.

This blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah is a tad too ripe and jammy. Chocolate fudge and ripe blueberry are backed by strawberry preserves, cinnamon, exotic spice and ground clove. The tannins are chewy.

Michele Satta’s estate is located in the southernmost part of the denomination. This Sangiovese-based wine offers delicate nuances of blackberry, spice box and dried hay but also has natural rubber or Band-Aid notes that disturb an otherwise pretty picture. Drink now.

This beautiful wine boasts impressive harmony and balance between its fruit, spice, tannic and acidic elements. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot and the bouquet is redolent of cherry, blackberry, cinnamon and leather. Very nice.
