2013v. Riserva. Light Ruby w a slightly orange rim. Very fragrant nose of red cherries, roses, brown sugar and sweet tobacco leaf. On the palette, it's sour cherries with some integrated oak and cedar. Higher acid Tannins are pretty mild. Body has a slight, woody chew to it. Overall, a Chianti with smooth finesse. 13.5% ABV.

Very nice Sangiovese. Needs to breathe a little, but showing great signs of a Classico, with a bit of sweeter fruit on the back end. Bring on the pasta!!
