Last of a case. Sorry to see this one go. Bright and fruity, plenty of acidity, a terrific everyday Chianti. The blend of the old grapes, Colorino and Pugnitello, add significantly to the character of the Sangiovese. It drank well young, and while it didn't gain a lot over time, it lost nothing. I will look for later vintages. We can get the Riserva and the Gran Selezione in the PLCB stores, but I don't think there are better enough than this basic Chianti to justify the higher prices.

A perfect chianti for spaghetti and meatballs in a red sauce. Bright cherry/black cherry fruit, very good acidity, and a bit of earth.

pretty standard stuff. always long for the older vintages though. decent but not a vintage I'm very fond of with them.
