8.0

Pretty upset about this. Taste like it is made with Midwest grapes. Bubble gum and caramel. Blegh.

Edit: Okay, I gave it time to breathe and it completely transformed. Still slightly bubble-gummy and nowhere near the color Chianti should be, but much better.

This is pure nostalgia of table wine you’d get by the liter and any small restaurant in Tuscany. Acidic and earthy. Gets a big score strictly for nostalgia. God I miss Italy. — 2 months ago

Gifted to us from a friend. I think from Trader Joe’s. Nothing that really stood out besides I didn’t think it was overly powdery like I get a lot with cheap cabsavs. — a month ago

In-laws brought this home from Portugal. Pretty middle of the road rosé. Probably would be a lot higher if I had this in the summer. — 2 months ago

I believe this version (2026) leans more towards a Merlot blend. Pretty quick finish but soft. I was expecting something much bigger with the variety of grapes used from around the world. — 2 months ago

Heavy on the peppery spice but dissipates fast. Leaves a lot to be desired. — 2 months ago

Candied syrup on the nose, sweet but not as sweet as it smells. Lucious finish when I was expecting dry. This is mid-west summer while poolside wine. — 3 months ago
