Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico Sangiovese

15.5/20 (87/100)

Bordeaux style

Clean, dry and fruity on the back end

Clear, deep ruby in color with a garnet rim. Clean, with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cherry, tomato leaf, tabacco, and balsamic. This wine is dry, with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium flavor intensity. It has primary and secondary flavors of black cherries, strawberries, and clay pots with a medium finish. Overall, this wine is balanced, and complex. I would rate it as good.

In Rome - Vatican/EUR - the wine is easy to drink, but possesses a low-key bouquet.

Medium-deep, ruby color.
Aromas of stewed tomato, tomato leaf, earthy.
Dry. Flavors of overripe tomato/cherry, barnyard floor, peppercorn. Medium-rich, chewy tannins.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 3/5
Finish: 1/5

First bottle: Not a great smell, a bit Smokey. Second bottle was good so I increased my eating

Full bodied. Not my favorite, but nice.
