Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Chianti Rufina, Tuscany

Winery review: “Reveals captivating red cherry, plum and marzipan aromas, with a lovely violet twist. Enters bright, fresh and smooth, with lively acidity nicely framing the sweet red cherry and raspberry flavors. Finishes long and pure.” – 91 pts, International Wine Cellar

My review: This wine smelled amazing. I caught a hint of berries and sweet fruits on the nose. The taste was very tannic and not fruity like I expected. At the end it tasted dry and very acidic. I did not try this wine with food but it would have been a lot better.
