Winery 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:
-85 Points
-This wine was a little better than the two that preceded it, but it was still not something I would enjoy drinking. On the nose, I caught hints of floral and some coffee. The taste was bitter and musky, reminding me of an old basement. On the finish, this wine was very dry. I was very interested to read the description because what I tasted was nowhere near what the critics said I would taste. I tried this wine on its own without food.
