Deep Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruit and earthy spice, aged for 24 months in stainless and large oak barrels, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, #17 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with tobacco, floral and earthy flowery notes. Full-bodied, well balanced approachable tannins on a medium+ finish ending with fruit, espresso and a mineral character. Grab some Italian food and enjoy. — a month ago

Wonderful cherry crumble, plum, and oaked vanilla. Nice notes of undergrowth to balance things out making sure things aren't too fruity cherry sweet. Nice mouth feel, a bit light / medium bodied and lacking some tannins. Overall, very enjoyable — 8 years ago

2006 is the shizzle! Smooth, lighter bodied than the usual Chianti, No snappy finish. Plums and fruit at first and then a leather, mouth watering taste of the earth and the smell of autumn. Is that weird? Whatever. Just drink it ! It's delish and easy to drink. It's a DOCG and it has a rooster- what more do you bitches want?

Stopped in a local wine shop in Sorrento. This was recommended to us by the owner and we were pleasantly surprised. Cost was 7 euros. — 12 years ago

2020 vintage, standard Chianti ruby red coloring, decent floral aromas on the nose, cherry and spice on the palette, complete shift in flavor after letting it breath for 30 minutes, it leaves a lingering but pleasant hint of smoke or burnt oak on the finish. — a month ago

Purchased at the Grocery Outlet for $5.99.

That said, when we opened it yesterday it was totally not-descript. I wasn't even going to post it. Now, I am flabbergasted. We wasted it!
👃 lots of plummy raisins and caramel. So much fruit, it reminded me of a fruit compote.
👅 Pleasant leathery tannins, dry, subtly astringent. I never thought I'd b say "pleasant" and "leathery" in the same sentence.

Let this air out at least 24 hours! — 8 years ago

Blind, I would have said this was a modern BDX. A touch brambly and dark with lifting acidity. What a surprise. A true delight with a porcini dusted porterhouse. Yum! — 12 years ago

New grape, who dis? Falanghina Beneventana is dry, with high acidity and flavors that include floral, herbal and tropical fruit notes. Concentrated citrus fruit character on the nose, with notes of bitter orange, orange peel, tangerine and candied fruits. This ancient wine from southern Italy goes right along with my current dry white kick. #badandboozpod #blackwinelovers #winelovers #delectable #winereviews — 6 years ago
