Clos Marfisi "Gritole" Patrimonio Rouge 2017
91
Our Score
(2/2019) 100% Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) from the sibling Corsican masters of Clos Marfisi, this is a ripe, medium-bodied wine that is juiced out with plenty of red berry notes and fresh acidity balanced by a bit of green herb, granite and some chalky tannins. The wine caresses the palate in a soft, round and inviting style that is meant to be enjoyed in its youth with a slight chill.

(10/2016) "The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano hits the palate with serious intensity and overall depth. Succulent red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice, herb, tobacco and incense meld together in a pliant, highly expressive Vino Nobile that hits all the right notes. Firm tannins and bright acidity suggest the 2013 will drink well for a number of years. The 2013 is a total knock-out. Drinking window: 2018 - 2025."

(10/31/2018) "This is an excellent vintage in Chianti Classico that shows especially well in the simple, more accessible wines such as this. The 2016 Chianti Classico Berardenga delivers the power and density of its territory. The southern side of the appellation often shows the richest expressions of Sangiovese. This wine opens to sweet aromas of dark fruit, cherry and plum. The wine shows a slightly savory side as well with spice and dried terracotta that recalls the gray gravel soils of the region. Bay leaf, cola and chopped mint appear as subtle background notes. Some 260,000 bottles were made. Drink 2018 - 2028."

(11/30/2017) "The mid-weight 2015 Perlato del Bosco is a pure expression of Sangiovese that boasts the warmth and sunshine of Coastal Tuscany. The wine offers thick layers of fruit and spice that you would get, say, with Sangiovese from cooler inland areas with vineyards planted at higher altitudes over sea level. Bright cherry and wild raspberry transition to toasted almond, licorice and grilled herb. Drink 2017 - 2027."

(10/31/2017) "The 2015 Chianti Classico is a bright and convincing wine from Barberino Val d'Elsa, one of the main comuni in the greater Chianti Classico appellation. This is a smooth and silky Sangiovese that glides clean over the palate with strength and intensity. Bright cherry, blueberry and herbal accents with wild sage and rosemary characterize the finish. Like many other wines from the 2015 vintage, there is an evident touch of cherry sweetness on the close. Drink Date 2017 - 2025."

(11/30/2018) "Aromas of plums, cherries and hints of green olives. White truffles and deep earth, too. Full-bodied, so layered and beautiful with a fabulous texture and ripe tannins. It is so pure and minimalist in the end, showing the effect of traditional, hands-off winemaking. Don't miss this. Decant before serving. One for the cellar. Drink or hold."
