It is just a generic Chianti, not a Classico, but to be honest it's a great example of a vibrant, easy drinking, no brainer Sangiovese from that area.

For the price ot is a must go wine that has a too small recipient.

Not complicated, but decently long.

A fantastic wine for the price! Med body, deep intense flavors of plums, and blackberries.

A rosey nose. Bright red fruits and strawberries in particular. Wonderful acidity and a nice pair for food.

It's good for what it is. Sour cherry. Not offensive.

A simple Chianti not meant to be aged, but aged nonetheless. A surprisingly firm and fruity quaffer even after 16 years. No rough edges left but fruit and acid still there. Great red sauce pasta and pizza wine. The only thing it’s missing is the fiasco! Enjoyed the 2008 vintage with Vittorio’s pizza. Of course.

Pleasant fruity bouquet. Taste and smell like banana. Could be less tannic. Hard finish.
