this semi-sweet wine is versatile
a ton of lift and freshly crushed mint leaf aromatics that grip and curl out of the glass

Castello Di Volpaia 2016 Coltassala Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Tuscany Italy #95 #JS Altesino's five-hectare Montosoli vineyard sees96 points James Suckling A more restrained Coltassala and, as far as were concerned, all the better for it. What a nose, from the very beginning here, with crushed violets, pressed lavender, bilberries, fresh sage and basil, licorice and crushed stones. Medium body, bright and very energetic acidity and layers of finely wrought tannins. All about the vibrant fruit and driven acidity. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold. 95 points Wine
