Tasting - Gabriella Chianti

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Blended
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
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: I smelled a lot of plum, or even grapes in this wine. I thought it had an almost astringent taste, with a little bit of spice. Definitely left me with a taste of raspberries in my mouth.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
