Definitely old school in style. Lean, structured. Nose has zingy ripe/sour cherry, lots of minerally gravel. Savory, high acid, and some uncompromisingly sour cherry fruit in the mouth. Tannins soft. Calls out for a meaty ragu. Will tenderize a bit over the next couple of years.

UPDATE: After 48 hours under a vacuum closure, it’s softer, rounder, and more gravelly/minerally than spite cherry. Upping from a 8.9 to a 9.0.

What a lovely smooth Chianti it goes very well with grilled pork on an open fire.

Bought in Tuscany. Light and smooth. Seems like it could have aged much longer.

Great value and even non chianti lovers might enjoy its milder tang.
