Tasting - Gabriella Chianti

Date of Tasting: February 14, 2013
Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Sangiovese
Country: Italy
Year:2008
Price: $7.95

Shop 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: On the nose, I smelt some berry notes. As far as on the palate, it was a dry wine that had blackberry flavors. This was definitely a pretty strong wine.
