Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Medium Ruby with red fruit aromas and floral spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry with notes of sweet earthy spice. Fine tannins on a medium+ finish, good balance with acidity yielding to a fresh ending with a zing of spice. Drinks well now! Nice!

This was ok, why does it seem so hard to find good Chianti? My adventurism is rarely rewarded...

Me and my wife just polished off our last bottle from a case of these. One of the best value Chianti’s on the market. Picked up for $8.99/each at Costco a few months ago. This is an austere offering from high elevation vineyards in Radda in Chianti. Beautiful floral nose with bright cherry, plum skin and Tuscan soil. Elegant and refined for the price point. Shines with at least 30 min decant and pairs great with pizza or pasta with red sauce.

At home. COVID quarantine bottle no. 2. easy drinkin. If I feel safe to venture to Costco again, would buy again for casual circumstances
