Winery Review: "This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: Blood red, very dry and chalky tasting, a true classical Italian wine. Fruity flavors are kicking from start to finish with black cherry really taking over the front end of the tasting experience. Let my mouth with that "I need to brush my teeth" feeling and I really like that end of the dry-sweet spectrum. Great Mediterranean wine that could really one-up some already rocking meals.
I sampled the wine without food.
