Tasting - Gabriella Chianti



Name:  Gabriella Chianti
Variety:  100% Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
Country:  Italy
Year:  2008
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date and Location: 14 Feb 2013 at Vintage Cellar

Winery review:  This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that
you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with its boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My review: This wine was dry with lots of tannins. It was also a little spicy. A solid wine but didn't really make a big impression.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
