Shop Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.
My Review: The color of this wine was a very intriguing, deep red. I could smell red berries right away on the nose, especially raspberries with strawberries possibly mixed in and cough syrup. The taste was very bitter and the finish left the palate with a sort of dry, tobacco taste. High amounts of acidity kicked in on the mid-palate which stayed throughout the finish - it was so strong it made me wince! The wine also seemed to get a little heat from alcohol. The wine seemed to finish dry and not last long on the palate. This was had without food.
