Purple flowers, black pepper, licorice and drunken raspberries on the nose. Light and food friendly, pepper spice mouth, roses and simple young tart cherry. A sausage and red saucy pasta wine.

Easy, plain. Nothing special. High acid. Sour berry. Rustic tannins. Chianti through and through

Clear ruby garnet in color. Cherry and Woody spices on the full nose and less aggressive palate. Medium light body, medium acidity, medium minus tannins. Fruit is subdued, but flavors fill out with food. Not stellar -- Gabbiano's Riserva is much more solid -- but an adequate food wine.

Give it time to open up. Smooth tannins with nice nose early and lingering finish late. Nice with a moderately robust meal.
