Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Intense nose has sweet/sour cherry, a whiff of vanilla, minerally gravel. Concentrated flavors of crisp cherry, leather, and savory mineral accents. Very nice acids. Soft tannins. Long finish. Lots of character and nice balance for a great price (under $20 from Garagiste).

Nov 25th, 2024A fair amount of Chianti character and complexity in a gulpable package. Nose has pure macerated dark cherry fruit, plenty of iron-y and iodine-y savory notes, crushed gravel, and a dusky floral note. Soft and fluid-textured in the mouth, it’s medium bodied, has modest acids, and some very fine-grained tannin. Open and inviting right now, but the next couple of years will be kind.

Sangio for dinner. Structured a little dramatic, too intense for any happy hour. Blasts a rich enveloping spray of deep cherry flesh, macerated strawberry, and greasy cleaned leather threaded by an inconspicuous 14.5% ABV.

A nice rustic chianti. Rich and textured if a bit rough. Flavours of black fruit and and an almost licorice tone. Medium finish. Nice to drink it in the hood. Bravo Gussalli Beretta
