Wine Review: A heck of a value in Chianti, this delicious blend of 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo and 3% Colorino offers up notes of licorice, new saddle leather, black cherry and berry fruit, loamy soil undertones and a touch of pepper and herbs. It is medium-bodied, savory and best drunk over the next several years.

Personal Review: This wine has the smell of red berries, plums and citrus. It was very dull, light-bodied and light tannins. It tasted like raisins and sour cherry. I did not try this wine with food.
