Description: The famous Giacomo Tachis is the winemaker and has since created other super-tuscans, like Ornellaia, Sassicaia, and Solaia. One of the pioneering Tuscan blends that illustrates craftmanship and quality, establishing its credentials absent the instruments of media and marketing.

“The 2011 is remarkable for so many reasons. In a vintage in which so many wines are over-ripe and cooked. the 2011 impresses for its freshness, vibrancy, and overall balance. The 2011 Sammarco is one of the protagonists of this vintage. In fact, I think Sammarco represents the hot 2011 growing season better than any other wine from the Chianti Classico area.”
