Winery 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: A dark, choclaty wine that's very rich and sweet. Think of a chocolate mousse or maybe a thick creamy chocolate cake. Also tasted fruity with notions of raspberry and maybe even a hint of lemon cookie. Very interesting wine to drink as a little kick in the pants to satisfy that sweet tooth.
I did not have this wine with food.
