Very old school. Lean, lively acids, even a little volatile, savory, minerally flavors but with tart macerated cherry there. Nice with chicken cacciatore.

Tuscan tour continues w this gem. Sour cherry and crisp apple carries into a bitter arugula-y pepper.

Liked this stuff. Dusty clay cherries that were both fresh and sun dried, with balsamic note. Vibrant and balanced.

That's a pretty classic Chianti Classico. Juicy cherry and dust and earthy warmth right through the middle. Because it's mostly done in concrete rather than old wood, it trades a bit of the balsamic-y oxidative note for really bright freshness. Works for me, but your palate may wish the percentages were reversed.

Sour cherry, tart, on the lighter side. Could be bolder.
