Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

I like the graphics. It looks like the wallpaper in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in 1965. The wine is great, too. I'm sneaking a sip while I cook, and hoping there will be a sip left when I'm done cooking. You ever do that?
I won't break down the flavor profile; it just tastes like solid Sangiovese.

Medium body, delicate, but pleasant nose. Smooth with a palate of black cherry. Pairs well with a variety of foods, but excels with pasta. Drank in August 2025 — 9 days ago

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Not for the meek mannered types. Tannins & oak aging definitely playing the forefront. There were hints of berry,cherry fruit but were just peeking through. Would go well with most tuscan cuisine's. — 5 years ago
