 Tasted by wicho on 6/18/2023 & rated 88 points: A very typical Riserva, dry, perfect for red sauces. A well made wine. (330 views)
 Tasted by lucagiupponi on 4/30/2022: Mixed reviews on this, but I found it quite delicious. Classic Sangiovese profile with judicious use of oak. The end result is something that’s quite pleasing, rounded, and fine. (863 views)

 Tasted by Peggypepperoni on 12/29/2020 & rated 79 points: The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant, prune, plum, oak, cinnamon and black pepper. It tastes like prune, oak and black pepper. The body is medium. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.
Thank you little cellartracker tasting note assistant! :)
Didn't really like this one. Not a huge fan of Chianti, so I'm not the best rep (1425 views)
 Tasted by Andyxkong on 4/10/2020: Decent (1961 views)
 Tasted by Scottwhipp on 3/24/2020 & rated 88 points: Medium body. Dark cherry, iron and a nice dry finish. I liked this wine, especially paired with food (in this case angel hair pasta with Marzanno tomato sauce and shrimp). (1702 views)
 Tasted by LEEJV123 on 10/31/2019 & rated 64 points: Medium body, round, fruity. (1636 views)
 Tasted by jsjones on 10/1/2019 & rated 89 points: Very pleasant, medium to even light body, aroma of mostly ripe cherries. Not a long finish, but enjoyable. (1310 views)
 Tasted by Lamac32 on 8/18/2019: Go-to house Chianti (1322 views)
 Tasted by goldgarf on 5/26/2019 & rated 80 points: Not as good as previous years. Not much flavor (999 views)
 Tasted by kkleg on 5/26/2019 & rated 86 points: A decent Chianti. Nice perfume. A bit lacking on the palate, with a touch too much acidity. (1040 views)
 Tasted by Robkatz.srq on 5/13/2019 & rated 82 points: Light inexpensive summer red. Great value for dollar (722 views)
 Tasted by despore on 3/19/2019 & rated 87 points: Decent but not outstanding Chianti, good fruit, good acidity, balance off, uneven. Ok for a weekday drinker. (901 views)
 Tasted by mauropallido on 2/26/2019 & rated 88 points: Chianti Classico dal carattere tradizionale e ruspante: colore piuttosto scarico, corpo magro, bocca stilizzata e leggermente amaricante, acidità rigogliosa, sorso scorrevole. Naso fresco e vitale, ancora giovane.
In principio non particolarmente convincente, si è poi dimostrato buon vino da pasto abbinato a carne e formaggi.
Prezzo ok (11 euro) (993 views)
 Tasted by drcork on 2/23/2019 & rated 88 points: Very little roughness. Good balance overall. Especially with some air. Even better day2. (756 views)
 Tasted by aajder on 1/3/2019 & rated 88 points: Perfect color. The nose shows aromas of wild berries, spices, flowers and underbrush. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and real class. The medium plus length finish features ripe tannins and good acidity. Well balanced... (839 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.
