Chianti
Italy

Winery Review:  This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

Personal Review:  Smells like the Valpolicella tasted, with smokey tones and maybe some dark fruits. Tastes similar but much milder, with spices and ground pepper apparent in the flavor. Smooth but fair in taste.
