Winery Review: Ruby red in color the wine has a full and intense fragrance with hints of grapefruit and red fruits which bring to mind cherries and raspberries. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced. The finish is characterized by gentle tannins and the persistent flavor of the grapes which make it so delicious and easy to drink. It is meant to be drunk young in order to appreciate its freshness and its bouquet.[1]
Wine Folly: The Classico designation means the wine comes from the historic boundaries of Chianti. Wines are primarily Sangiovese but also may contain Canaiolo, Colorino, Cabernet, and Merlot. The Riserva and Gran Selezione are the area’s finest wines and age 2 and 2.5 years respectively [2].
My Review: This wine had a very dark ruby red pigmentation. I thoroughly enjoyed the sweetness of this wine, it felt light on the tongue and had subtle berry tones. The smell was delightfully fruity and intoxicatingly sweet with the smell raspberries lingering in the air. I was pleasantly surprised but it's lack of woody flavors but wasn't quite overwhelmed by the dryness left in my mouth after enjoying the sweetness.
