Lighter red. Still spicy but not overpowering. Great with pasta and red sauce

Still has a little bite to it but not as strong. Overall not bad.

Stereotypical #Chianti Classico #wine, only better! Floral red roses, quick damp soil and robust red berry aromas. Delicate, light body, acidic with chalky tannins, flavors start with berries and fade gradually to violets, and cranberry. Not fruit forward, but fades on palate. Opened 1/8/17 pairing with Steak, grilled red onions & peppers.

Medoum Ruby. Medium intensity nose with a dry cherry and mushroom character. Savoury dried fruits with dry cherry. Good wine and will develop.

Very fruity, lots of cherries. Superb tannins and pleasant acidity. Great choice for that pasta. Bem frutado, acidez deliciosa, taninos gostosos. Vai cair bem com a massa do domingo
