Winery Direct Review:
Tuscany, Italy. This is a high quality Chianti at an everyday price. This
small, family-owned producer packs plenty of flavor in this one-dried cherry,
plum and hint of vanilla. A medium-bodied, well-structured wine with superb
balance and subtle woody notes in the bouquet.
My Review: I
found the wine to have an oaky aroma.
The color was a vibrant ruby red.
I did not pick up any fruit flavors on my palate. However, I did pick up
smoky and tobacco flavors. This wine had
medium body and left a spicy aftertaste in my mouth. I ate pistachios with the wine and it left a
bit of a peppery taste when combined with the wine. I would recommend this wine
if you are looking for a smoky blend vs. a fruity red. It is a good value and would pair well with
pasta, pizza or red meat.
great with pizza
