Shop review - This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit is balanced by a bit of spice. It's a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it's boldness this Chianti is velvety smooth.
My Review - This Chianti did not a very strong scent to it and smelled colorful. The taste of the wine was very light, it did not pack as much flavor as I would have anticipated for a Chianti. The wine was a bit underwhelming but perhaps that was due to tasting the Lavarini Valpolicella Classico right beforehand. The texture of this wine seemed a bit think, definitely more density than water. I did not really enjoy this wine because it tasted a bit green, like it was plucked off the vine before the grapes were ready.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
