Cleansing front of the mouth tannins, cherry, earth, lots of concentration and good acid, pretty damn good Sangiovese. Where's the pasta??

Tasted on day two of its being open. Very much like Ribero del Duero, with high-toned, rich, spiced dark fruit. Perfect with our homemade bolognese! #chianti #wine
