Ariodante D'Antilio

As a lover of Chianti Classico’s, this particularly dry Sangiovese is fantastic. Great bottle for the price.

Bright ripe and tart red fruit on the nose (cherries), licorice, leather, dusty earth, hint of tobacco. On the palette, tart cherry, cherry twizzler/nibs, cherry Hall's (almost mentholated), hint of tomato and dried thyme. Bone dry. Plenty of acidity, medium plus to high. Medium plus tannin.
