Tasting- Gabriella Chianti

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95

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 it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My review:Started with a very strong smell of something I could not identify.  The taste was very dry and bold fruity flavor.  Had a good amount of spice that gave it character, and left me with a long after-taste.  Was not a huge fan of this wine, but wouldn't mind trying it again later.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
