Tenuta Sant'Alfonso Single Vineyard Chianti Classico Sangiovese
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Nice solid Chianti. I think it was $35 on sale for $25 or something like that. Held up to curry.

Dark & rich with dark cherry & blackberry, cocoa beans & dark chocolate, a hint of exotic spice and dark wood in the background. Nice play of savoury & sweet on the palate - chewy, chocolatey tannins, fresh bright acidity, layers of dark fruit. Finishes off with a savoury note and, unfortunately, the 14,5% alc sticking out.
Reminds me more of the much warmer Morellinos or Maremma Sangioveses, and I do miss the freshness and lighter footing of more typical C. Classicos.
