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: This deep red wine is filled with dark fruit flavors. Plums, blackberries and raspberries hit the nose mix on the tongue with sharp, heavy tannins that leave a bitter taste sitting in the mouth.
