13 dollars at Costco...inspired by Italian recent wines(especially bottles of various amarone at unbelievably reasonable prices in local restaurants) on a trip to Veneto...past experiences with Italian wines stateside are usually not consistent with those in Italia...this was no exception....for a 2017 chianti, strikes me as overly tannic without the fruit to support the truly mouth puckering tannic experience...agree with others that it is certainly high in acidity but 2 sips was enough for me...
