Winemaker Marco Pallanti has farmed this estate in Chianti Classico since 1982, and he knows its vineyards well, producing acclaimed single-vineyard wines with the help of wife and co-owner Lorenza. San Lorenzo is a small valley, with 50 acres of vines planted in a mix of limestone and clay at an elevation of 1,650 feet. The 2010 is 80 percent Sangiovese, with Malvasia Nera and Merlot. A racy, vibrant red that shows the elegance of the site, it is the top-scoring Chianti Classico tasted this year.
“A pure expression of Chardonnay that offers a great sense of freshness and crispness. The bouquet opens to linear aromas of citrus, white rose and summer peach. There are mineral overtones and you might also detect a hint of dried sage, saffron or oregano. Fruit is harvested from a vineyard site that is rich in limestone soils and located at 500 meters above sea level. Both these factors have contributed to the sharpness and freshness of this very versatile white wine.” 91 Points. Monica Larner ~ April 28th, 2017 *2015 vintage, 2016 not yet rated
