Castellare Winery

We had this at a Tuscan Restaurant in Kumamoto, Japan. It paired with our steak and gnocchi perfectly. Dark cherry fruit wrapped up in coffee aromas and spicy tannins with a long finish.

deep ruby core to garnet rim; aromas of black cherry, orange peel, gravel, earth; medium body with a firm tannin structure and balanced acidity on the palate

Very interesting Super Tuscan - light, almost pinot like but certainly Italian - a bit more decanting next time and it will be close to great

classic brunello. leather, cherries, and earthy qualities mesh together in a very structured and delicious effort. tannic, as it should be, but finally able to be enjoyed as it's maturing quite nicely.

Excellent value for the price. This wine has a complex appeal. On the nose I smell dark chocolate and some cherry. Upon first taste, there is a nice dark chocolate and dry cherry... letting the glass sit for an hour,...

Oaky vanilla and cola with green vegetables and a bit of wet fur on the nose. Packed with flavor of raw beef, green pepper, orange rind and blackberries. A nice Chianti that I would happily try again.
