Earthy!!!! Beautiful deep garnet, with dusty dirt, preserved cherries and a hint of mushroom on the nose. Rich with strong, finely integrated tannins, deep cherry flavors and hints of chocolate.. Long finish.

Chianti Montespertoli DOCG 2010 Riserva, 14%. Bottle tasted in November 2014.
Another well made wine, aged in oak, quite smooth, pleasant but not my kind of wine... sorry.....

Delicious. Exactly what I think a Chianti should taste lake. Easy drinker, pairs very well with pasta

Pretty classic straight forward representation here. Won’t blow your mind but exactly what you want with spaghetti and meatballs. Structured, earth driven Chianti.
