- Oodles of taste.
- Spices, with an after-note of acidity.

Red berry, mulberry, ripe plum and violets notes. Smooth, elegant and well balanced. Lightly spicy.

V11. Very good. Smoked meat nose. Juicy black cherry fruit. Round, dry, slightly chalky, savory finish.

This was given to us as a gift and I opened it for some homemade marinara sauce. Of course, I had to pour myself a glass. It's a pretty good Chianti but probably not a wine I would seek out to buy.

Had lunch at Frescobaldi while in Italy in 2013. Great restaurant and awesome wines. We picked this one up in the US. Good wine for the price.
