Vintage Cellar's Review:
“This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with its boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.”

My Review:
The first thing I noticed about this wine was its purple/dark-red color and the carbonation. There were dark, berry, cherry and other fruity hints in the nose. The taste was a bit bitter and slightly spicy with slight cherry hints but not much else. Overall, this wine was well balanced, medium bodied and had a dry finish. The aromas left me desiring for a more intense flavor than what was delivered.
Tasted without food.
