"Now barely 20 years old, Mattia Bucciarelli started working with his uncle in 2019 and has since taken the reins following the latter's untimely passing. The past is profoundly present at this former sharecropping estate as Mattia holds fast to traditions. The long-aged annata is complex and tertiary - all blood and iron, with some tobacco and mellowed spice rising from the glass. Decidedly savoury rather than fruity, it is quite a mouthful. Pepper, rosehip tea and dried florals nuance the palate. Tannins grip with steely persistence. Rustic and old-school but compelling and uniquely characterful. Truly a singular Chianti Classico."
