Nice cinnamon-spiced, plummy fruit but it falls flat mid-palate.

Great bang for the buck! A bargain wine from one of the most well-respected areas of Chianti that delivers. Nice tannins on the finish. Looking forward to pairing it with pasta or pizza because it seems to have the potential for a good "everyday" bottle that pairs well with these favorites.

Smooth but not boring. Subtle spice, licorice, and black fruits. Delicious with brownies from Zingerman's
