Wine 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 wine was very interesting. It smelled like vermuth to me. There were hints of grass and prune and pine. It tasted like petrol. It had a weird smoky element to it and was packing heat. The finish was super sour. 


I did not have food with this wine.
