Wild fennel leaves, sour cherry, dried herbs, cola, and minerality. Light on its feet, in a great way. Perfect for some homemade Tuesday night pasta.

I'm actually holding this bottle near a window in Tuscany. Gorgeous.

Too fruity for me. Nothing particularly bad about it but not my preferred style in Chianti.

The somewhat harsh acidic flavor I expect with Chianti. Cherry flavors with light body. Smooth and easy to drink. Had with lasagna and it paired well after with lasting flavors from our meal.
