 Tasted by KeithAkers on 3/14/2013 & rated 92 points: Chianti Classico tasting- the black rooster crows at the dawn of a new age (Allerton Hotel, Chicago IL): Nose: Very pretty and deep nose with tones of red fruits, cherries, roses, spices, roasted herbs, and incense tones. There is very nice depth to this with a perfumed quality as well.

Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and silky, but firm tannins. The feel is very polished with sexy tones of red fruits, roses, herries, herbs, and some incense.

Overall: This is a gorgeous Chianti Classico Riserva. It's very polished with good depth as well. (2890 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
