Note di degustazione
The 2010 San Lorenzo is starting to show some maturity, with tertiary complexity now complementing the fruit. Wild herbal aromatics add lift, while there are savoury, bloody, earthy tones that give depth to the wine. There’s an elegance, length and freshness, with lovely resolution to the tannins. There’s no rush, but this is in a gorgeous place right now. 13% alcohol.

A drop-dead gorgeous beauty, the 2010 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is laced with expressive dark red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, mint and licorice. There is a lot going on in the glass. The 2010 boasts exceptional purity in its flavors, along with superb textural elegance and phenomenal overall balance. What a gorgeous wine this is. I imagine the 2010 will drink nicely for many years, but it could use more time in bottle. In 2010, Ama did not bottle their single-vineyard selections. All the best fruit went here.
Offers a combination of power and elegance, with a racy feel. Notes of wild cherry, strawberry and rose, with leafy, woodsy flavors, permeate this driving red. The finish is long, but this needs time to shed the tannins. Well-defined from start to finish. Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Merlot.
83% Sangiovese, 10% Malvasia Nera, 7% Merlot. Very dark ruby. Intense and savoury on the nose – really quite compelling. Creamy-rich on the nose and then tightly focused with lots of dry tannin on the finish. Still very youthful. Embryonic. Concentrated fruit but nothing to do with alcohol. Edgy and youthful. Almost like essence of Chianti Classico. (JR)
