Wine Review: Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli 2010

Name: Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli
Variety: Blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malyasia
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: Regular $15, on sale $8.95

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.
