Reminds me of so many of the solid affordable wines we’d find in Italy. Medium body. Firm tannins. Tart fruit first. Then tobacco.

I’ll do this again.

Love these wines, especially in 2021. Perfect pairing with chicken parm. Wonderful balance between fruit, earth, acid, and tannin

That’s nice. Most typical Radda Chianti w/o the French oak.3 vineyards combined for some time in SS then into large Slovenian Casks. So, henceforth, just a push from the wood, not a glaze.
Blood red dirty nose, plum and spice.
Tart on the palate, bright, strawberries, cherries, a reminder of what was.
Delicious.
Great w fatty sausages and red sauce.

Dark blood red medium bodied, dry balanced acidity and tannins. Great Chianti which improved as it rested. This wine reminded me of my Grandfather’s wine.
