Pretty light and fruity for a Zin. More towards strawberry than the traditional dark berry and pepper flavors. A little high on the acidity, but not particularly unbalanced. Overall, good for a light zin.

I'm a big fan of Chianti and Tuscan wines. To me, this wine is not fantastic in its own right, but it does represent an interesting reversal of the traditional Chianti blend. The Petroni Rosso is primarily (75%) Syrah, blended with 20% Sangiovese, which rarely finds itself singing backup. And it works nicely.
