A new estate located in Gaiole in Chianti Classico and owned by a Belgian family. This wine is from 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet-Franc, partly aged in wooden barrels. The winemaker is none other than Markus Edler von der Planitz, a winemaker who more than earned his stripes at top domains such as Montevertine, Ama and was also responsible for the great wines of Rampolla, clearly someone who understands his craft…!
I found the first years a tad too austere, too much on pure power, but here too finesse and elegance are increasingly sought after and this 2019 is a great example of that and definitely worth your attention.
