Tasting -- Gabriella Chianti


Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Chianti , Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95

Winery 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 it's boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My Review:  Deep aromas. A lot of berries and cherries coming through but also a bit of house hold cleaner smells. Tastes quite dry. There are very deep berry flavors with a bit of sourness. Almost like a stale berry.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
