Note di degustazione
The 2010 Giorgio Primo possesses stunning richness and power. A deep, concentrated wine, the 2010 emerges from the glass with layered black fruit, melted rocks, licorice, graphite and menthol. Frankly, this is a difficult wine to taste alongside other wines from Chianti Classico because the reference points are necessarily from somewhere else: the great wines of Bordeaux. The 2010 brings together all the best elements of the house style. The 2010 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.

The 2010 Giorgio Primo (65% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot) is a towering wine that soars to great aromatic heights. The concentration is inky dark and impenetrable and the wine delivers Baroque embellishments of over-the-top fruit and blackberry. This is a syrupy, vinous and raw expression that almost seems to go too far. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. The spirited and opinionated Neapolitan Giampaolo Motta had a falling out with the Chianti Classico Consorzio years ago – hence the small picture of a barbecued Black Rooster on the black of the label. Even though he has some of the best vineyards in Panzano in Chianti, he chooses to bottles his wines as IGT Toscana instead. Various American importers including: T. Edward Wines; www.tedwardwines.com
