I wanted to like this more given the other wines I've had from Castello di Ama. Lacked both structure and complexity. Lots of plumminess and cocoa, but not much else going on--

Not bad, I like the the basic Classico that was $30 with what I read were better raw materials. Though this sticks to the house style its notch below what I expected. I guess at 25% less retail price thats what you get, $23. Pretty cherry notes with rose and citrus, some spice and minerality mesh with good acidity and medium grain tannins.

Not bad. Competent. Pretty basic flavors, a bit round, and just not enough to keep you coming back for more at this point.

Classic example of Chianti Classico. Tart black cherries, dried herbs, red liquorish, twigs, damp forest floor.
