Nice normal Chianti. A little bit acidic as they can be and not ripe with cherries. Got a bit lost with rack of lamb (which was so good by the way!), but was amazing with the chocolate ice cream dessert!

Very light and slightly acidic, but it makes for easy drinking

Refined Italian wine. Medium bodied. small tangy notes on the attack, harmoniously accompanied by tertiary notes given by an aging which highlights discreet woody touches, moka and sweet spices.

It's simple and elegant chianti. Light and fruity (a cherry, a plum) and I can recognize also a leather. But I know now that I need some break from chianti.
