Completely different from the Brolio Chianti Classico I had some weeks ago (which was very oaky, almost New World style). This is more on the light side, unexpectedly light ruby colour, aromas of red plum, cherry and red fruit in general with some clover and a toasty hint. The oak is perceivable but not too strong. Body is around medium, you can feel the tannins on the tongue but they are quite delicate, giving more space to a crispy fresh acidity.
This is a great wine to drink with some meat sauce pasta or a not too spicy pizza and it can be also enjoyed lightly chilled in summer, but it is less intense and complex than other chianti classicos.

Very decent Chianti, light red color, typical nose of cedar and cherry. Light tannins and medium long finish.
