2019 RICASOLI TOSCANA CASALFERRO
"Super aromas of fresh violets, black olives, crushed raspberries and blackberries. Hints of dried flowers, too. Full-bodied, yet compact and polished, with superbly crafted tannins that compress the palate, giving it a fine-velvet texture. Tight and focused. Most precise and sophisticated Casalferro ever. This needs at least three or four years to show what it has, but great potential." James Suckling 98 points Drink 2025-38

The 2019 Casalferro (Merlot) is terrific. Ripe dark cherry/plum fruit, licorice, spice, new leather, menthol and mocha are nicely dialed up in a generous, plush Merlot that offers plenty of Chianti Classico vibrancy.

A rich, dark expression of Merlot, this red walks the line between austerity and generosity, the latter gaining ground as this builds to the fine finish. Dense, with the tight texture working in tandem with black cherry, blackberry, iron and spice flavors. Best from 2025 through 2038. 750 cases made, 150 cases imported.
