"The estateâs single-vineyard 2004 Chianti Refina Vigneto Montesodi (100% Sangiovese) saw 18 monthsâ aging in new barriques. It presents expressive aromatics followed by layers of black fruits, violets, licorice, sweet spices and menthol that flow from the glass with notable concentration as well as weight on the palate. A note of freshness gives the wine a beautiful sense of lift on the finish. Several years of cellaring will help integrate the toasted oak notes that are present today. This sleek interpretation of Chianti is a terrific effort from Frescobaldi."
