"From a small family estate near Castellina, now run by Monica Raspi, who left her career as a veterinarian in 2007 to take over the farm from her parents. Run organically, the 6ha vineyard is located at 350m and is composed mostly of alberese soils. 100% Sangiovese is fermented in stainless steel and aged for 15 months in 20hl Slavonian oak, followed by nine months in cement and at least six months in bottle. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Red cherries, raspberries, tea leaves and a hint of iodine. Woodsmoke and mushrooms complement the palate. Sara Bachiorri: New leather, tea leaves, dried cherries. Medium body, good acidity. Elegant and refined. Smooth tannins and a long finish. Jason Millar: Bright, lively cherry fruit with lift and delicacy. Compact, fresh and pure. A touch of nutmeg. Very drinkable. Should unfurl beautifully with time."

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Full, leafy cherry-fruit nose with a dark-spice edge. Lush fruit with a tangy bite and with a hint of blood orange on the finish. Bags of gravelly tannins, while the fruit holds up effortlessly without being heavy. (WS) 14%"

"The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna Pomona is another big wine from Pomona. Black cherry, leather, incense, tobacco, wild herbs and spice are all amplified. This rich, heady Riserva is long on character and personality, with a good dose of rusticity. I would give this a long decant."

"Intense aromas of rose, cherry, strawberry, wild herbs and tar are the hallmarks of this alluring red. As seductive as this is up front, there's a dense swath of tannins and vibrant acidity keeping it structured, focused and long. Shows excellent harmony and aftertaste. Drink now through 2040. —B.S."
