Blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Colorino and 5% Merlot. Ruby with dark berry fruit aromas, tobacco and herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with spice notes. Tannins are fine and firm, medium finish ending with savory character. Drink now, actually better than Reserva.

Nice acidic flavor cuts the fat in the cheese in cheese pasta dishes.

A little disappointed. Not great. Feels like it has no alcohol in it.

Great wine for $10, easy to find at my local HEB. Right amount of fruit and bright acidity!
Will be my normal week wine! - buy again list!

Didn't line up with my personal Chianti tastes, and I normally enjoy Chianti's.
