A little thin for a Chianti Riserva, but none the less a traditional style of Chianti from Tuscany, with a real sense of place. This wine has complex aromas of sweet plums, cranberries, violet and savoury spices. It’s medium bodied with sweet and sour flavours, mouth watering acidity and silky tannins. The finish is long, smooth and savoury. I enjoyed this wine was paired with a pasta dish of tomatoes, Italian sausage, roasted eggplant , goat cheese and fresh basil and it worked beautifully. Life is good.
This wine was purchased on May 14, 2011 LCBO New Release at $27.95
