The wine is a light garnet in the glass with great transparency, just as you'd expect from the varietal. The nose is rather subdued affair, with notes of ripe cherry, dried rose petals and some mineral notes. The taste is classic Chianti, with a rush of tart cherry up front that transitions nicely to some notes of strawberry and vanilla midpalate. The tannins are soft, providing a bit of balance to the acidity in the wine, and a soft, dry finish that lingers a bit.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, as it's just a nice, easy drinking Chianti that's ideal for midweek dinners, and it's a solid value at just $12 from Wines Till Sold Out! This wine would pair well with a broad range of Italian dishes, from classic pastas to mushroom risotto, to a nice proscuitto and capocollo anti pasti. Tonight I am enjoying this wine with a simple pasta with spinach alfredo sauce topped with a bit of shaved Parmesan. Tutti a tavola a mangiare!
