Wine Spectator – “Black cherry and black currant fruit paves the way in this red, with spice and leather accents adding depth. Bright and solid, yet remains elegant, with a lingering aftertaste of mineral and spice. Best from 2013 through 2020.”
From the Wine Maker – “An intense ruby-red with aromas of blackberries and cherries under spirits along with sensation of spice and tobacco from the careful aging in barrel. On the palate the wine is very solid with notes of vanilla and chocolate, supple and soft in its tannins and accompanied by the vibrant acidity which characterizes the Sangiovese grape as a variety. The complexity and length on the finish are excellent.”
This Chianti should be served with meat cannelloni, meat/tomato sauce gnocchi, meat or vegetable lasagna, pepperoni/sausage pizza, meat, spinach or cheese filled ravioli in meat or tomato sauce.
