Bright nose of red cherry, red liqorice, Star anise. Medium - bodied, punctuated by sharp fruit, acid is not so high but creates sensation like drinking candy sours. No complexity and frankly speaking not a great example of Chianti, but serviceable as an accompaniment to pizza.

Nothing special - a little thin but developed a little with time out of the bottle.

Red berry, rose hip tea, lightning struck earth nose. Med bodied, elegant and complex palate. Juicy and earthy finish.
3.5/5

Tasted this at "Discover the Facets of Sangiovese" Masterclass at Prowine Asia 2016.
A blend of Sangiovese and Colorino.
This is a sharp, edgy and pointed wine. Needs time to settle down.

Very nice nose with blackberries, blackcurrant and cherries. Good tannic bite and a spiciness on the palate. Very good QPR.
