  Color: Transparent ruby. For a Chianti Classico it is very transparent. Nose: Not much going on. Mouth: Light bodied. Fresh. There is fruit. Hard to describe but a mixture betwween red fruit and oranges comes close. Not bad, at all. A bit simple but you can feel that they didn't tinker too much with the wine. It somehow tastes very natural. The 14% alc. is fairly well hidden and just a bit noticeable. The more I am sipping this wine the more I like it. It is really growing on me.

  This Sangiovese was served blind at our tasting group and it stumped us all. Medium ruby colored with slight staining and medium viscosity. The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of dusty black cherry, purple licorice, vanilla, baking spice, strawberry pie, caramel, açaí berry and roses. The palate is dry with medium acidity, medium body and medium (+) tannins. Flavors of black cherry, licorice, baking spices and vanilla are prominent, the dusty note faded. The strawberry shows up later in the game with the acai berry. It finishes medium in length and not as tart as expected from a Chianti. It's a young wine whose tannins need to settle down with time or vigorous decanting. This bottle was a brute last night but has since mellowed out very nicely. It should drink well till 2030 and gets 91 points from me. At $20 it's a definite 5 star wine to load up on.
