Nice fruity nose of black cherries, violets, spice. Super easy drinking everyday Chianti with low acids and tannins - lots of fruit.

On a table next to spaghetti and red sauce. Light, mild and inoffensive.

Zippy, well balanced and showing red cherry on most and palate. Paired nicely with pesto Genoese.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity, high tannins, tastes like tart cherry, plum, and clay pot with a long finish. A good chianti. It hits all the notes I expect in a chianti. I'm sure it will pair well with my pasta tonight.
