Not sure why people are rating this so low. It's smooth, food friendly and funky. Aka... It's Chianti.

the label is cool featured a unicorn check. smells of a fine balsamic and olive oil tastes of a warm red berry tart with a deep ancestral earthliness the after taste reminds me of a lemonade that way it’s acids erode my mouth

Amazing … bought for $14, but drinks like a $50+ bottle. Dark fruit on the nose. Enough grannies to give structure and just a hint of funk.

For me it is a great warm day dry wine ... 2015 was the year on the one I bought.

Super food friendly. Nicely constructed. Good acid base. Subtle. Really enjoying the 2017. Could be aged Longer. Perfect for a night in Little Italy.
